Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa`:
حَدَّثَنَا الْمَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلاً مِنْ أَسْلَمَ أَنْ أَذِّنْ فِي النَّاسِ
" أَنَّ مَنْ كَانَ أَكَلَ فَلْيَصُمْ بَقِيَّةَ يَوْمِهِ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَكَلَ فَلْيَصُمْ، فَإِنَّ الْيَوْمَ يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered a man from the tribe of Bani Aslam to announce amongst the people that
whoever had eaten should fast the rest of the day, and whoever had not eaten should continue his fast,
as that day was the day of 'Ashura' .

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" مَنْ قَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ ". قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ فَتُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَالأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ كَانَ الأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فِي خِلاَفَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَصَدْرًا مِنْ خِلاَفَةِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Whoever prayed at night the whole month of Ramadan out of sincere Faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven." Ibn Shihab (a sub-narrator) said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) died and the people continued observing that (i.e. Nawafil offered individually, not in congregation), and it remained as it was during the Caliphate of Abu Bakr and in the early days of 'Umar's Caliphate."
'Abdur Rahman bin 'Abdul Qari said,
"I went out in the company of 'Umar bin Al-Khattab one night in Ramadan to the mosque and found the people praying in different groups. A man praying alone or a man praying with a little group behind him. So, 'Umar said, 'In my opinion I would better collect these (people) under the leadership of one Qari (Reciter) (i.e. let them pray in congregation!)'. So, he made up his mind to congregate them behind Ubai bin Ka'b. Then on another night I went again in his company and the people were praying behind their reciter. On that, 'Umar remarked, 'What an excellent Bid'a (i.e. innovation in religion) this is; but the prayer which they do not perform, but sleep at its time is better than the one they are offering.' He meant the prayer in the last part of the night. (In those days) people used to pray in the early part of the night."

That he was informed by `Aisha, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went out in the middle of the night and prayed in
the mosque and some men prayed behind him. In the morning, the people spoke about it and then a
large number of them gathered and prayed behind him (on the second night). In the next morning the
people again talked about it and on the third night the mosque was full with a large number of people.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came out and the people prayed behind him. On the fourth night the Mosque was
overwhelmed with people and could not accommodate them, but the Prophet (ﷺ) came out (only) for the
morning prayer. When the morning prayer was finished he recited Tashah-hud and (addressing the
people) said, "Amma ba'du, your presence was not hidden from me but I was afraid lest the night
prayer (Qiyam) should be enjoined on you and you might not be able to carry it on." So, Allah's
Apostle died and the situation remained like that (i.e. people prayed individually). "
that he asked `Aisha "How was the prayer of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in Ramadan?" She replied, "He did not
pray more than eleven rak`at in Ramadan or in any other month. He used to pray four rak`at ---- let
alone their beauty and length----and then he would pray four ----let alone their beauty and length ----
and then he would pray three rak`at (witr)." She added, "I asked, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Do you sleep
before praying the witr?' He replied, 'O `Aisha! My eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep."

I asked Abu Sa`id, and he was a friend of mine, (about the Night of Qadr) and he said, "We practiced
I`tikaf (seclusion in the mosque) in the middle third of the month of Ramadan with the Prophet (ﷺ) . In the
morning of the 20th of Ramadan, the Prophet (ﷺ) came and addressed us and said, 'I was informed of (the
date of the Night of Qadr) but I was caused to forget it; so search for it in the odd nights of the last ten
nights of the month of Ramadan. (In the dream) I saw myself prostrating in mud and water (as a sign).
So, whoever was in I`tikaf with me should return to it with me (for another 10-day's period)', and we
returned. At that time there was no sign of clouds in the sky but suddenly a cloud came and it rained
till rainwater started leaking through the roof of the mosque which was made of date-palm leaf stalks.
Then the prayer was established and I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) prostrating in mud and water and I saw the
traces of mud on his forehead."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to practice I`tikaf (in the mosque) in the middle third of Ramadan and after
passing the twenty nights he used to go back to his house on the 21st, and the people who were in
I`tikaf with him also used to go back to their houses. Once in Ramadan, in which he practiced I`tikaf,
he established the night prayers at the night in which he used to return home, and then he addressed
the people and ordered them whatever Allah wished him to order and said, "I used to practice I`tikaf
for these ten days (i.e. the middle third but now I intend to stay in I`tikaf for the last ten days (of the
month); so whoever was in I`tikaf with me should stay at his place of seclusion. I have verily been
shown (the date of) this Night (of Qadr) but I have forgotten it. So search for it in the odd nights of the
last ten days (of this month). I also saw myself (in the dream) prostrating in mud and water." On the
night of the 21st, the sky was covered with clouds and it rained, and the rainwater started leaking
through the roof of the mosque at the praying place of the Prophet (ﷺ) . I saw with my own eyes the
Prophet at the completion of the morning prayer leaving with his face covered with mud and water.

Chapter 5: The I'tikaf at night. - كتاب الاعتكاف
Narrated Ibn `Umar:
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ عُمَرَ، سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ كُنْتُ نَذَرْتُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ أَنْ أَعْتَكِفَ لَيْلَةً فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ، قَالَ
" فَأَوْفِ بِنَذْرِكَ ".
`Umar asked the Prophet (ﷺ) "I vowed in the Pre-Islamic period of ignorance to stay in I`tikaf for one
night in Al-Masjid al-Haram." The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, "Fulfill your vow."
