Sahih Muslim 1172c (Book 14, Hadith 5) #9929
The Practice of I'tikaf During Ramadan

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to observe i'tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan and his wives followed suit.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) used to observe i'tikif in the last ten days of Ramadan till Allah called him back (to his heavenly home). Then his wives observed i'tikaf after him.
وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، - رضى الله عنها - أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ الْعَشْرَ الأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ حَتَّى تَوَفَّاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ثُمَّ اعْتَكَفَ أَزْوَاجُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
I’tikaf is a spiritual practice that Muslims observe during the last ten days of the holy month of Ramadan. It involves secluding oneself in a mosque or other place for worship and devoting one’s time to prayer, reflection, and remembrance of Allah. This was a practice that was observed by Prophet Muhammad himself, as well as his wives after him. Through this practice, Muslims are able to focus on their relationship with God and draw closer to Him through prayer and contemplation. It is also an opportunity for Muslims to reflect on their lives and make any necessary changes or improvements before the end of the holy month.
