أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نُعَيْمٍ الْمَدِينِيُّ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَا: ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، ثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ، حَدَّثَنِي عُمَارَةُ بْنُ غَزِيَّةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ؓ:
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ اعْتَكَفَ الْعَشْرَ الْأُوَلَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، ثُمَّ اعْتَكَفَ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوْسَطَ فِي قُبَّةٍ تُرْكِيَّةٍ عَلَى سُدَّتِهَا حَصِيرٌ، قَالَ: فَأَخَذَ الْحَصِيرَ بِيَدِهِ فَنَحَّاهَا فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْقُبَّةِ، ثُمَّ أَطْلَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَكَلَّمَ النَّاسَ فَدَنَوْا مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي اعْتَكَفْتُ الْعَشْرَ الْأُوَلَ أَلْتَمِسُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ، ثُمَّ اعْتَكَفْتُ الْعَشْرَ الْأَوْسَطَ، ثُمَّ أُتِيتُ فَقِيلَ لِي: إِنَّهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ، فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَعْتَكِفَ فَلْيَعْتَكِفْ ". فَاعْتَكَفَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ، قَالَ: " وَإِنِّي أُرِيتُهَا لَيْلَةَ وِتْرٍ، وَإِنِّي أَسْجُدُ فِي صَبِيحَتِهَا فِي طِينٍ وَمَاءٍ ". فَأَصْبَحَ فِي لَيْلَةِ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ وَقَدْ قَامَ إِلَى الصُّبْحِ فَمَطَرَتِ السَّمَاءُ، فَوَكَفَ الْمَسْجِدُ، فَأَبْصَرْتُ الطِّينَ وَالْمَاءَ، فَخَرَجَ حِينَ فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ وَجَبِينُهُ وَرَوْثَةُ أَنْفِهِ فِيهَا الطِّينُ وَالْمَاءُ، وَإِذَا هِيَ لَيْلَةُ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed iʿtikāf during the first ten days of Ramaḍān, then he observed iʿtikāf during the middle ten days in a Turkish tent, at whose door was a mat. He said: He took the mat in his hand and put it aside in a corner of the tent, then he put out his head and spoke to the people, and they came close to him. He said: "I observed iʿtikāf during the first ten days seeking this night, then I observed iʿtikāf during the middle ten days, then someone came to me and it was said to me: It is in the last ten days. So whoever among you loves to observe iʿtikāf, let him observe iʿtikāf." So the people observed iʿtikāf with him. He said: "I was shown it as an odd-numbered night, and I will prostrate on the morning after it in mud and water." So on the morning of the twenty-first night he stood for the dawn prayer, and the sky rained and the mosque leaked. I saw the mud and water. He came out when he had finished the dawn prayer, with mud and water on his forehead and the tip of his nose, and it was the twenty-first night, from the last ten days.
