Abu Saeed AlKhudri Allah be pleased with him reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed itikaf confined himself for devotion and prayer in the first ten days of Ramadan; he then observed itikaf in the middle ten days in a Turkish tent with a mat hanging at its door. He the Holy Prophet took hold of that mat and placed it in the nook of the tent. He then put his head out and talked with people and they came near him; and he the Holy Prophet said: I observed itikaf in the first ten nights and days in order to seek that night Lailat AlQadr. I then observed itikaf in the middle ten days. Then an angel was sent to me and I was told that this night is among the last ten nights. He who among you likes to observe itikaf should do so; and the people observed it along with him; and he the Holy Prophet said: That Lailat AlQadr was shown to me on an odd night and I saw in the dream that I was prostrating in the morning in clay and water. So in the morning of the twenty-first night when he the Holy Prophet got up for dawn prayer. there was a rainfall and the Masjid dripped; and I saw clay and water. When he came out after completing the morning prayer I saw that his forehead and the tip of his nose had traces of clay and water; and that was the twenty-first night among the last ten nights.
