Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ هُبَيْرَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ أَيْقَظَ أَهْلَهُ وَرَفَعَ الْمِئْزَرَ قِيلَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ مَا رَفَعَ الْمِئْزَرَ قَالَ اعْتَزَلَ النِّسَاءَ.
Translation
It was narrated that ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) said
When the last ten days of Ramadan came, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would wake up his family and tighten his izar. It was said to Abu Bakr: What does tightening the izar mean? He said: Keeping away from women.
