عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ:
قُلْتُ لِعَطَاءٍ: أَرَأَيْتَ الْجِوَارَ وَالِاعْتِكَافَ، أَمُخْتَلِفَانِ هُمَا أَمْ شَيْءٌ وَاحِدٌ ؟ قَالَ: بَلْ هُمَا مُخْتَلِفَانِ كَانَتْ بُيُوتُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَلَمَّا اعْتَكَفَ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ خَرَجَ مِنْ بُيُوتِهِ إِلَى بَطْنِ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَاعْتَكَفَ فِيهِ "، قُلْتُ لَهُ: فَإِنْ قَالَ إِنْسَانٌ: عَلَيَّ اعْتِكَافُ أَيَّامٍ فَفِي جَوْفِهِ لَا بُدَّ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، وَإِنْ قَالَ: عَلَيَّ جِوَارُ أَيَّامٍ، فَبِبَابِهِ أَوْ فِي جَوْفِهِ إِنْ شَاءَ
Translation
✧ I said to 'Ata': "What do you think about jiwar and i'tikaf—are they different or the same thing?" He said: "They are different. The houses of the Prophet ﷺ were in the mosque. When he observed i'tikaf in the month of Ramadan, he went out from his houses into the interior of the mosque and observed i'tikaf there." I said to him: "If someone says, 'I owe an i'tikaf of days,' must it be in its interior?" He said: "Yes. But if he says, 'I owe a jiwar of days,' then it may be at his door or in its interior, if he wishes."
