Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a hadith narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 3:789
Answer:
No, I am not aware of anything of this. They say there is a hadith about it, but I am not aware of anything of this. And if it is authentic or found, the meaning is that there is no i’tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) more complete or better than i’tikaf in the three mosques. So it is a restriction of excellence, not a restriction of the original ruling. They call it relative restriction. Yes.
