1. 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 theProphet may Allah bless him and grant him peace said When theMessenger of Allah may Allah bless him and grant him peace diditikaf he would bring his head near to me and I would comb it
2. Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that al Qasimibn Muhammad and Nafi the mawla of Abdullah ibn Umar said Youcannot do itikaf unless you are fasting because of what Allah theBlessed and Exalted says in His Book And eat and drink until thewhite thread becomes clear to you from the black thread of dawn thencomplete the fast until night time and do not have intercourse withthem while you are doing itikaf in mosques Sura ayat
3. Yahya related to me that Ziyad ibn Abd ar Rahman said Malikrelated to us from Sumayy the mawla of Abu Bakr ibn Abd ar Rahman that Abu Bakr ibn Abd ar Rahman was once doing itikaf and he would goout to relieve himself in a closed room under a roofed passage inKhalid ibn Walid s house
4. Ziyad related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Amra bint Abdar Rahman from A isha that the Messenger of Allah may Allah bless himand grant him peace once wanted to do itikaf and when he went off tothe place where he wanted to do itikaf he found some tents there which were A isha s tent Hafsa s tent and Zaynab s tent
5. Malik was asked whether someone who went into a mosque to doitikaf for the last ten days of Ramadan and stayed there for a day ortwo but then became ill and left the mosque had to do itikaf for thenumber of days that were left from the ten or not and if he did haveto do so then what month should he do it in and he replied Heshould make up whatever he has to do of the itikaf when he recovers whether in Ramadan or otherwise
6. Yahya said that Ziyad said that Malik said It isnot halal for a man to have intercourse with his wife while he is initikaf nor for him to take pleasure in her by kissing her orwhatever
7. There is however a distinction between the marriage ofsomeone in itikaf and that of someone who is muhrim in that some onewho is muhrim can eat drink visit the sick and attend funerals butcannot put on perfume whilst a man or woman in itikaf can put on oiland perfume and groom their hair but cannot attend funerals or prayover the dead or visit the sick
8. Ziyad related to me from Malik that he had heard a man he trustedof the people of knowledge say The Messenger of Allah may Allahbless him and grant him peace was shown the lifespans of the people who had gone before him or what Allah willed of that and it was asif the lives of the people of his community had become too short forthem to be able to do as many good actions as others before them hadbeen able to do with their long lives so Allah gave him Laylat al Qadr which is better than a thousand months
