Sahih Muslim 1167b (Book 13, Hadith 276) #9915
Devotion to Prayer During Ramadan

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) devoted himself to prayer in the middle of Ramadan and stayed in his place of i'tikaf with his forehead besmeared with mud and water.

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah devoted (himself to prayer) in the middle (ten nights) of Ramadan. The rest of the hadith is the same except for these words: " That he adhered to his place of i'tikaf and his forehead was besmeared with mud and water".
وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، - يَعْنِي الدَّرَاوَرْدِيَّ - عَنْ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، - رضى الله عنه - أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُجَاوِرُ فِي رَمَضَانَ الْعَشْرَ الَّتِي فِي وَسَطِ الشَّهْرِ ‏.‏ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمِثْلِهِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ فَلْيَثْبُتْ فِي مُعْتَكَفِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ وَجَبِينُهُ مُمْتَلِئًا طِينًا وَمَاءً

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Abu Sa'id al-Khudri tells us about the devotion of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to prayer during the middle ten nights of Ramadan. During this time, he would stay in a place called i'tikaf and his forehead was besmeared with mud and water. This shows us how important it is for Muslims to devote themselves to prayer during this holy month, as well as how much respect we should have for our beloved Prophet's example. We should strive to emulate him by dedicating ourselves more fully to worshiping Allah during this blessed time. Additionally, we can learn from this hadith that it is important for us all to take care of our physical health while engaging in spiritual activities such as praying or fasting, which is why the Prophet smeared mud on his forehead - a practice known as wuḍūʾ - before engaging in prayer.
