Pen for Allah

Narrated `Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (may peace be upon him) : While Allâh’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) was in I’tikaf (seclusion in the mosque) he used to put his head in the house (their house was right next to the Prophet’s mosque) so that I could comb and oil his hair. Whenever he was in I`tikâf he never used to enter the house except for an urgent need. (Bukhari)

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: وَإِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيُدْخِلُ عَلَيَّ رَأْسَهُ، وَهُوَ في المَسْجِدِ، فَأُرَجِّلهُ، وَكَانَ لاَ يَدْخُلُ الْبَيْتَ إِلاَّ لِحَاجَةٍ إِذَا كانَ مُعْتَكِفًا. (البخاري)

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: أَنَّ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كانَ يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ حَتَّى تَوَفَّاهُ اللهُ، ثُمَّ اعْتَكَفَ أَزْوَاجُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ. (البخاري)

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ شَدَّ مِئْزَرَهُ، وَأَحْيَا لَيْلَهُ، وَأَيْقَظَ أَهْلَهُ. (البخاري)
