وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ: مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ، ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ:
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَعْتَكِفَ صَلَّى الْفَجْرَ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ مُعْتَكَفَهُ، وَأَنَّهُ أَمَرَ بِخِبَائِهِ فَضُرِبَ، أَرَادَ الِاعْتِكَافَ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ. فَأَمَرَتْ زَيْنَبُ ؓ بِخِبَائِهَا فَضُرِبَ، وَأَمَرَ غَيْرُهَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِخِبَاءٍ فَضُرِبَ، فَلَمَّا صَلَّى الْفَجْرَ نَظَرَ فَإِذَا الْأَخْبِيَةُ، فَقَالَ: آلْبِرَّ يُرِدْنَ ؟ !. فَأَمَرَ بِخِبَائِهِ فَقُوِّضَ، ثُمَّ تَرَكَ الِاعْتِكَافَ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ حَتَّى اعْتَكَفَ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأُوَلِ مِنْ شَوَّالٍ

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wished to observe iʿtikāf, he would pray the Fajr prayer and then enter his place of seclusion. He ordered his tent to be pitched, and it was pitched, as he wished to observe iʿtikāf during the last ten days of Ramadan. Zaynab ؓ ordered her tent to be pitched, and it was pitched, and another of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ ordered a tent, and it was pitched. When he had prayed Fajr, he looked and saw the tents, and said: "Is it righteousness that they intend?!" Then he ordered his tent to be taken down, and it was taken down. He then abandoned iʿtikāf in the month of Ramadan until he observed it during the first ten days of Shawwāl.
