Bulugh al-Maram 1396

Narrated 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with him)

[concerning his consultation with the Prophet] He said: I said: O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), I made a vow in the Jahiliyya times to spend a night in devotion (I'tikaf) in the Sacred Mosque. He (the Prophet) said, "Fulfill your vow." [Agreed upon]. al-Bukhari added in another narration: "Then, spend a night in devotion (in the Sacred Mosque)."

وَعَنْ عُمَرَ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: { قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ! إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ فِي اَلْجَاهِلِيَّةِ; أَنْ أَعْتَكِفَ لَيْلَةً فِي اَلْمَسْجِدِ اَلْحَرَامِ.‏ قَالَ: "فَأَوْفِ بِنَذْرِكَ" } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ 1‏ وَزَادَ اَلْبُخَارِيُّ فِي رِوَايَةٍ 2‏ { فَاعْتَكَفَ لَيْلَةً } 3‏ .‏
