وَعَنْهَا قَالَتْ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَعْتَكِفَ صَلَّى اَلْفَجْرَ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ مُعْتَكَفَهُ»
Aishah (RAA) narrated, “Whenever the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) intended to make Itikaf he would pray the morning prayer and then he would enter the place of his Itikaf (i.e. the place, which he had prepared for his Itikaf inside the mosque).” Agreed upon.
