A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) decided to observe i'tikaf, he prayed in the morning and then went to the place of his i'tikaf, and he commanded that a tent should be pitched for him, and it was pitched. He (once) decided to observe i'tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan. Zainab (the wife of the Holy Prophet) commanded that a tent should be pitched for her. It was pitched accordingly. And some other wives of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) commanded that tents should be pitched for them too. And they were pitched. When the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) offered the morning prayer, he looked and found (so many) tents. Thereupon he said:What is this virtue that these (ladies) have decided to acquire? He commanded his tent to be struck and abandoned i'tikaf in the month of Ramadan and postponed it to the first ten days of Shawwal

حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى، اخبرنا ابو معاوية، عن يحيى بن سعيد، عن عمرة، عن عايشة، - رضى الله عنها - قالت كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم اذا اراد ان يعتكف صلى الفجر ثم دخل معتكفه وانه امر بخبايه فضرب اراد الاعتكاف في العشر الاواخر من رمضان فامرت زينب بخبايها فضرب وامر غيرها من ازواج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بخبايه فضرب فلما صلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الفجر نظر فاذا الاخبية فقال " البر تردن " . فامر بخبايه فقوض وترك الاعتكاف في شهر رمضان حتى اعتكف في العشر الاول من شوال
