(hadith on the desirability of performing i’tikaf in Ramadan)
عن أبي هريرة- رضي الله عنه- قال كان النبي- صلى الله عليه وسلم-يعتكف في كل رمضان عشرة أيام فلما كان العام الذي قبض فيه اعتكف عشرين يوما”
رواه البخاري
On the authority of Abu Huraira- radiyaAllahu anhu who said that the prophet- sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam- used to perform i’tikaf every year in the month of Ramadan for ten days but on the year of his death, he stayed in I’tikaf for twenty days.
Al-Bukhari
I’tikaf means secluding in the masjid for the purposes of Ibaadah for it recommended period of time while observing it dos and don’ts .
