If anyone insults him or fights with him, let him say: Verily, I am a fasting person. By the One in Whose Hand the soul of Muhammad is, the smell of the mouth of the fasting person is more pleasant in the sight of Allah than the smell of musk. The fasting person will rejoice twice: when he breaks his fast, he rejoices, and when he meets his Lord, he rejoices at his fast."

• Whoever was in I‘tikāf with me should stay in I‘tikāf the last ten; for I was informed of that night, but I was then made to forget it. I saw myself prostrating in water and mud in its morning. So, seek it in the last ten

  عن أبي سعيد الخُدْري رضي الله عنه : «أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يَعْتَكِفُ في العَشْرِ الأَوْسَطِ من رمضان. فاعتكف عامًا، حتى إذا كانت لَيْلَةَ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ -وهي اللَّيْلَةُ التي يخرج من صَبِيحَتِهَا من اعتكافه- قال: من اعتكف معي فَلْيَعْتَكِفِ العَشْرَ الأَوَاخِرَ فقد أُرِيتُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ ثم أُنْسِيتُهَا، وقد رَأَيْتُنِي أَسْجُدُ فِي مَاءٍ وَطِينٍ من صَبِيحَتِهَا، فَالْتَمِسُوهَا فِي العَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ، والتمسوها في كل وِتْرٍ. فَمَطَرَتِ السَّمَاءُ تلك الليلة، وكان المسجد على عَرِيشٍ، فَوَكَفَ المسجد، فَأبْصَرَتْ عَيْنَايَ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وعلى جَبْهَتِهِ أَثَرُ المَاءِ وَالطِّين من صُبْحِ إحْدَى وَعشْرِيْنَ».

  Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to observe I‘tikāf during the ten middle days of Ramadan. One year, while he was in I‘tikāf on the night of the twenty-first on the morning of which he would come out of I‘tikāf, he said: "Whoever was in I‘tikāf with me should stay in I‘tikāf the last ten; for I was informed of that night, but I was then made to forget it. I saw myself prostrating in water and mud in its morning. So, seek it in the last ten, and seek it in each of the odd [nights]." That night, it rained, and [the roof of] the mosque dribbled as it was made of leaf stalks of date-palms. I saw with my own eyes the signs of water and mud on the forehead of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) in the morning of the twenty-first (night).
