Jami at-Tirmidhi 803 (Book 8, Hadith 122) #26368
The Significance of I'tikaf During Ramadan

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would perform I'tikaf during the last ten nights of Ramadan, and if he missed it one year, he would make up for it by performing I'tikaf for twenty nights in the following year.

Anas bin Malik narrated: "The Prophet would perform I'tikaf during the last ten (nights) of Ramadan. One year he did not perform I'tikaf, so he performed I'tikaf for twenty (nights) in the following year".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ يَعْتَكِفُ فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَلَمْ يَعْتَكِفْ عَامًا فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ اعْتَكَفَ عِشْرِينَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ‏.‏ وَاخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ فِي الْمُعْتَكِفِ إِذَا قَطَعَ اعْتِكَافَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُتِمَّهُ عَلَى مَا نَوَى فَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ إِذَا نَقَضَ اعْتِكَافَهُ وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَضَاءُ ‏.‏ وَاحْتَجُّوا بِالْحَدِيثِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ خَرَجَ مِنِ اعْتِكَافِهِ فَاعْتَكَفَ عَشْرًا مِنْ شَوَّالٍ ‏.‏ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ مَالِكٍ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْهِ نَذْرُ اعْتِكَافٍ أَوْ شَيْءٌ أَوْجَبَهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَكَانَ مُتَطَوِّعًا فَخَرَجَ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ إِلاَّ أَنْ يُحِبَّ ذَلِكَ اخْتِيَارًا مِنْهُ وَلاَ يَجِبُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ ‏.‏ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّافِعِيِّ ‏.‏ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ فَكُلُّ عَمَلٍ لَكَ أَنْ لاَ تَدْخُلَ فِيهِ فَإِذَا دَخَلْتَ فِيهِ فَخَرَجْتَ مِنْهُ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَقْضِيَ إِلاَّ الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

EXPLANATIONS:
According to this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to perform a spiritual practice called 'I'tikaf' during the last ten days of Ramadan. This is a special time when Muslims focus on prayer and worshiping Allah. It is believed that these are some of the most blessed days in which Allah's mercy descends upon us. If for any reason, the Prophet was unable to do this one year, he would make up for it by performing 'I'tikaf' for twenty days in the following year. This hadith teaches us that we should never miss out on an opportunity to seek Allah's blessings and mercy through acts of worship such as 'I'tikaf'. We should also strive to make up for any missed opportunities with extra effort and dedication so that we can reap maximum rewards from our deeds.
