Hadith 518
۞
Hadith.2089 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Umar ibn Yazid, who said
"I asked Abu Abdullah (as): 'What do you say about performing i'tikaf in Baghdad in some of its mosques?'
Imam (as) replied: 'Do not perform i'tikaf except in a congregational mosque where a just Imam has led the congregation in prayer. There is no harm in performing i'tikaf in the mosque of Kufa, the mosque of Basra, the mosque of Medina, and the mosque of Mecca.'"
2089 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَا تَقُولُ فِي اَلاِعْتِكَافِ بِبَغْدَادَ فِي بَعْضِ مَسَاجِدِهَا قَالَ «لاَ تَعْتَكِفْ إِلاَّ فِي مَسْجِدِ جَمَاعَةٍ قَدْ صَلَّى فِيهِ إِمَامٌ عَدْلٌ جَمَاعَةً وَ لاَ بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يُعْتَكَفَ فِي مَسْجِدِ اَلْكُوفَةِ وَ اَلْبَصْرَةِ وَ مَسْجِدِ اَلْمَدِينَةِ وَ مَسْجِدِ مَكَّةَ ».
