What is the authenticity of the hadith: (There is no i'tikaf except in three mosques)?

The questioner : What is the authenticity of the hadith: ?

The Shaykh : It is an authentic hadith...

The questioner : Based on this, a jurisprudential issue is established: the prohibition of i'tikaf in mosques other than the three.

The Shaykh : Naturally, i'tikaf is not prescribed except in the three mosques, just as traveling a long distance is not prescribed...

The questioner : Just as traveling a long distance is not prescribed. Where is this hadith, my brother? May Allah reward you. In the books of jurisprudence? In which books of hadith?

The Shaykh : Do you have the treatise "The Virtue of Standing in Night Prayer" by Al-Albani?

The questioner : By Allah, may Allah reward you with good, I do not have it.

The Shaykh : Yes, because there is a long discussion there that you will not find in any other book...

The questioner : It is not found...

The Shaykh : I say that there is a long, verified research in this treatise that is not found in any other book...

The questioner : Yes, it is verified in this treatise. May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh : There is no power and no strength except by Allah...

The questioner : Our Shaykh, one last question, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh : My brother, what is wrong with you? Why do you not understand me? I am telling you: in this treatise, there is a verified, extended research regarding this hadith and its jurisprudential implications. This research is not found in any other book...

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. I understood that, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Okay, and you say "verified" or "verified"? What does this wording mean?

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Okay, peace be upon you...

The questioner : ... in Allah, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh: Peace be upon you.

The questioner : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah. May Allah bless you, our Shaykh.

The Shaykh : And may He reward you.
