I'm looking for a hadith, athar, any reference that Sahaba used to sit in Aitekaaf in Ramadhan.

Please help.

[Ettiominiw]

I searched Hayatus Sahabah and found these two incidents. But i m not sure if they are specific to Ramadhan.



Hadhrat Ataa reports that a Sahabi by the name of Hadhrat Ya'la bin Umayyah (ra) used to sit for even a moment in the Masjid with the intention of performing I'tikaaf.

(Abu Nu'aym in his Hilya Vol.3 Pg.312).

Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Abbaas (ra) Leaves His I'tikaaf to Fulfil a Need of a Muslim

Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Abbaas (ra) was once observing I'tikaaf in the Masjid of Rasulullaah when a man came to him. After the man had greeted with Salaam and sat down, Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Abbaas (ra) said, "It seems that you are extremely concerned about something?"

"That is true, O cousin of Rasulullaah !" the man replied, "I am indebted to someone and I swear by the honour of the occupant of this grave (Rasulullaah ) that I am unable to settle it."

"Should I speak to him on your behalf?" Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Abbaas(ra) offered.

"if you please," the man replied.

Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Abbaas (ra) then put on his shoes and left the Masjid. The man called out, "Have you forgotten what you were engaged in (your
I'tikaaf)?"

"NO," Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Abbaas (ra) replied, "It is something that I heard from the occupant of this grave and it was not a long time ago." His
eyes then welled with tears as he continued, "I heard him say, 'Whoever walks to fulfill the need of a Muslim and applies himself in this regard, it will be better for him than ten years of I'tikaaf.

As for the one who spends a single day in I'tikaaf for the pleasure of Allaah, Allaah will place between him and the fire of Jahannam three trenches larger than the distance between the heavens and the earth."

Tabraani, Bayhaqi and Haakim, as quoted in Targheeb wat Tarheeb (Vo1.2 Pg.272).

Maulana Saheb this is what I found in Sunan Abi Dawud:

Book 13, Number 2457:
Narrated Ubayy ibn Ka'b: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) used
to observe i'tikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan. One
year he did not observe i'tikaf. When the next year came, he
observed i'tikaf for twenty nights (i.e. days).

Hope this helps insha'Allah

Muhtaram Dr Sahib,

These scans contain only ahadith about the Aitekaaf of Rasool Allah

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?

Someone claimed that Sahaba didn't sit in Aitekaaf. If this is true, then I want to find out WHY?

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 .

Sorry Maulana Saheb in thinking you were asking about any incidents of i'itikaaf. Here is another narration that I have found. I am unsure as to the authenticity of it. I have also myself not looked up the hadith. You are more qualified than me to look it up.

It clearly mentions Hadhrat Abdullah Ibn Abbas carrying out I'itikaaf following the death of Rasulullah

Hadith No 1

Ibn Abbas R.A. reports that while he was once performing I’itikaaf in the musjidun Nabwi (Rasulullah’s musjid), a certain man came to him, greated him and sat down. Ibn Abbas said to him: “I see that you seem sad and troubled”. The man replied: “Yes, O son of the uncle of Rasulullah S.W., I am indeed troubled in that I have an obligation to fulfill to someone. I swear by the holiness of the inmate of this honoured resting place (Rasulullah’s grave S.W.) that I am not able to fulfill this obligation”. Ibn Abbas R.A. inquired: “Shall I intercede with that person on your behalf?” the man replied: By all means if you so wish”. Ibn Abbas put on this shoes and proceeded from the Musjid. The man seeing this said: “Have you then forgotten that you are in I’itikaaf?” With tears filling his eyes Ibn Abbas R.A. replied: “No, the time is still fresh in my mind, I heard the esteemed master of this tomb Rasulullah S.W. say, “Whoever sets forth in the way and makes an effort of settling a necessary affair on behalf of his brother, that service shall be better for him than to perform I’itikaaf for ten years, and whomsoever performs I’itikaaf for a day, thereby seeking the pleasure of Allah, Allah will open three trenches between him and the fire of hell, the width of each being the distance between heaven and earth”.

Tabraani, Bayhaqi and Haakim, as quoted in Targheeb wat Tarheeb (Vo1.2 Pg.272).

I sometimes do that.....!!!

Thank you for the hadith btoh of you - Amr and Abd.

This hadith is a lesson to us about helping our muslim brothers and sisters more than it is about Aitekaaf. This hadith is also not clear about whether Hazrat did aitekaaf in Ramadhan.

I'm looking for clear texts like Hazrat Umar sitting in Aitekaaf.

2 Hadiths mentioned in Muwatta Malik


19.3.5
Yahya related to me that Ziyad ibn 'Abd ar-Rahman said, "Malik related to us from
Sumayy, the mawla of Abu Bakr ibn 'Abd ar-Rahman, that
Abu Bakr ibn 'Abd ar-Rahman was once doing i'tikaf and he would go out to relieve himself in a closed room under a roofed passage in Khalid ibn Walid's house. Otherwise he did not leave his place of i'tikaf until he went to pray the 'Id with the Muslims."

19.3.6
Yahya related to me from Ziyad from Malik that
he saw some of the people of knowledge who, when they did i'tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan,
would not go back to their families until they had attended the 'Id al-Fitr with everybody.

Ziyad said that Malik said, "I heard this from the people of excellence who have passed away, and it is what I like most out of what I have heard about the matter."



The first Hadith is very specific. But i do not know if Abu Bakr ibn 'Abd ar-Rahman is a Sahabi.
According to the website(dont know if its reliable) He is not the Son of the following 3 sahabah with the name of Abdur Rahman:

Abdur Rahman ibn Awf: http://www.happy-books.co.uk/muhamma...ory.php?id=376
Abdur Rahman ibn Abu bakr: http://www.happy-books.co.uk/muhamma...ory.php?id=295
Abdur Rahman ibn Umar: http://www.happy-books.co.uk/muhamma...ory.php?id=335
They didn't have sons.

Can anybody confirm if AbuBakr ibn Abd ar-Rahman is a sahabi?

Sorry to bump this, but any answers?
