Hadith 694: Hadith 694
٦٩٤ - حديث عبد الله بن عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : : كَانَ رَسُوَلَالله صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعْتَكفُ الْعَشْرَ الأَوَاخِرَ مِنْ رَمَضَان أخرجه البخاري
Translation: 694. Narrated Abdullah ibn Omar " Allah's Messenger used to practice i'etekaf in the last ten days of the month of Ramadhan. ' (Bukhari)
Translation: 31 iletekaf is to confine oneself in a mosque to perform prayers, reciting the Koran, and invocations. During Al i'etekaf, one leaves worldly activities for a temporary period, and a Muslim should practice it. It is sufficient to stay in the mosque for a very short time with a sincere intention, and it is recommended to practice it in the month of Ramadhan.
