Muwatta Malik #717
I'tikaf in Ramadan
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا اعْتَكَفَ يُدْنِي إِلَىَّ رَأْسَهُ فَأُرَجِّلُهُ وَكَانَ لاَ يَدْخُلُ الْبَيْتَ إِلاَّ لِحَاجَةِ الإِنْسَانِ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Urwa ibn az-
Zubayr from Amra bint Abd ar-Rahman that A'isha, the wife of the
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,"When the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, did
itikaf he would bring his head near to me and I would comb it. He
would only go into the house to relieve himself."
