What i'm trying to find out is did the Sahaba sit in Aitekaaf after Rasool Allah's death?

Do we have any references about Hazrat Umar, Hazrat Abu Bakr sitting in Aitekaaf?

I don't know about after the Prophet

passing away.

There is an incident mentioned in Sahih Bukhari where the Sahaba doing Itikaaf with the Prophet

Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 33, Number 252:

Narrated Abu Salama bin 'Abdur-Rahman(ra):

I asked Abu Said Al-Khudri(ra), "Did you hear Allah's Apostle (saw) talking about the Night of Qadr?" He replied in the affirmative and said, "Once we were in Itikaf with Allah's Apostle in the middle ten days of (Ramadan) and we came out of it in the morning of the twentieth, and Allah's Apostle(saw) delivered a sermon on the 20th (of Ramadan) and said, 'I was informed (of the date) of the Night of Qadr (in my dream) but had forgotten it. So, look for it in the odd nights of the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan. I saw myself prostrating in mud and water on that night (as a sign of the Night of Qadr). So, whoever had been in Itikaf with Allah's Apostle should return for it.' The people returned to the mosque (for Itikaf). There was no trace of clouds in the sky. But all of a sudden a cloud came and it rained. Then the prayer was established (they stood for the prayer) and Allah's Apostle(saw) prostrated in mud and water and I saw mud over the forehead and the nose of the Prophet(saw).

Edit: In the hadith i mentioned in the 2nd post its mentioned that Abdullah ibn Abbas (ra) was performing Itikaaf after the passing away of our beloved Rasoolullah
