حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَی بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ کَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَعْتَکِفَ صَلَّی الصُّبْحَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْمَکَانَ الَّذِي يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَعْتَکِفَ فِيهِ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَعْتَکِفَ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَأَمَرَ فَضُرِبَ لَهُ خِبَائٌ فَأَمَرَتْ عَائِشَةُ بِخِبَائٍ فَضُرِبَ لَهَا وَأَمَرَتْ حَفْصَةُ بِخِبَائٍ فَضُرِبَ لَهَا فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ زَيْنَبُ خِبَائَهُمَا أَمَرَتْ بِخِبَائٍ فَضُرِبَ لَهَا فَلَمَّا رَأَی ذَلِکَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ آلْبِرَّ تُرِدْنَ فَلَمْ يَعْتَکِفْ رَمَضَانَ وَاعْتَکَفَ عَشْرًا مِنْ شَوَّالٍ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1771
It was narrated that 'Aishah to start Ai'tikaf, he would pray the Subh, then he would enter the place where he wanted to observe Ai'tikaf. He wanted to spend the last ten days of Ramadan in A'tikaf, so he ordered th.at a tent be set up for him," Then' Aishah ordered that a tent be set up for her, and Hafsah ordered that a tent be set up for her. When Zainab saw their two tents, she also ordered that a tent be set up for her. When the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H saw that, he said: "Is it righteousness that you seek?" Then he did not observe I'tikaf during Ramadan, and he observed A'tikaf during ten days of Shawwal. (Sahih)
