Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ كَانَ عَلَى عُمَرَ نَذْرٌ فِي اعْتِكَافِ لَيْلَةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ فَسَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَعْتَكِفَ .
Translation
Muhammad ibn ʿAbdullah ibn Yazid reported to us; he said: Sufyan narrated to us, from Ayyub, from Nafiʿ, from Ibn ʿUmar, who said: ʿUmar owed a vow to observe devotional retreat for one night in the Sacred Mosque. He asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, about it, and he instructed him to observe the retreat.
