This hadith is about the practice of I’tikāf which is a spiritual retreat where one secludes themselves from worldly activities for a certain period of time. It is usually done during Ramadan or Shawwal as mentioned in this hadith. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ practiced this every year during Ramadan but when his wives asked permission to do so too, he allowed them. However, upon seeing four tents pitched in the mosque for their retreats, he questioned what they were doing and said that it was not righteousness before removing all four tents and deciding to perform his own retreat during Shawwal instead of Ramadan that year. This hadith teaches us about proper etiquette while performing religious practices such as I’tikāf as well as emphasizing on following Sunnah which are actions performed by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ himself such as performing I’tikāf annually during Ramadan or Shawwal depending on what suits him best at any given time.
