Forty Hadiths On Ramadan

Hadith No. 22

The Month of Ramadan and Itikaf

Imam Sadiq (A.S.) has said: The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny), initially observed the Itikaf (spiritual retreat) during the first ten days of the month of Ramadan. Later, he observed it during the middle ten days of the holy month and finally, he observed it during the last 10 days of the month and then continued to do so in the last ten days (for as long as he was alive).Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 16, pg. 274
