Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet used to perform I'tikaf every year in the month of Ramadan for ten days, and when it was the year of his death, he stayed in I'tikaf for twenty days.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ يَعْتَكِفُ فِي كُلِّ رَمَضَانَ عَشْرَةَ أَيَّامٍ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَامُ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Take out some time from our busy lives to devote ourselves completely towards Allah SWT and His remembrance.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the practice of Itikaaf that was observed by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It is a form of worship where one secludes oneself from worldly activities and devotes their time to prayer and meditation. Every year during Ramadan, the Prophet would observe this practice for 10 days but during his last year on earth, he extended it to 20 days. This shows us how important this practice is as even in his last moments on earth, he chose to spend them in devotion and prayer. We can learn from this that we should take out some time from our busy lives to devote ourselves completely towards Allah SWT and His remembrance.
