1a] The guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) regarding i’tikaaf

1a]
This was stated by al-Shawkaani in Nayl al-Awtaar.
Some of his wives used tovisit him when he was in i'tikaaf. When she
stood up to leave, he would take her home – that was at night.
It was narrated from Safiyyah the wife of the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) that she came to the Messenger of
Allaah(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and visited him when
he was in i'tikaaf in the mosque, during the last ten days ofRamadaan.
She spoke with him for a while, thenshe stood up to leave. TheProphet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stood up with her to take
her home. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2035; Muslim, 2175.
In conclusion, his i'tikaaf was moderate and not harsh. He spent all
his time remembering Allaah and turning to Him in worship, seeking
Laylat al-Qadr.
