there is no i'tikaf except in a congregational mosque. لا اعتكاف إلا في المساجد الثلاثة ...
Sunan Abi Dawud 2473Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani)


The Shaykh : Yes, this was narrated by al-Bayhaqi.

The questioner : Was the one who said it Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman? And did 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud say to him, "You memorized and then forgot"?

The Shaykh : Yes?

The questioner : Did Ibn Mas'ud say that to him?

The Shaykh : Yes, yes.

The questioner : So the hadith is valid.

The Shaykh : The hadith is valid, but why are you asking this question?

The questioner : Does Ibn Mas'ud's statement affect it?

The Shaykh : Ibn Mas'ud?

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : What is the matter with Ibn Mas'ud?

The questioner : Did 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud object to this hadith of Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman?

The Shaykh : Does anyone object to a hadith of the Messenger of Allah?

The questioner : No.

The Shaykh : So what is your question? May Allah guide you.

The questioner : The question is, is there no weakness in the chain of narration or the text?

The Shaykh : There is no weakness in the chain of narration or in the text. The word "perhaps" does not build a house.

The questioner : Yes, and peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy and blessings.
Abu Layla: We gave our Shaykh...

The questioner : From Mas'ud ibn Zayd, who said: Bilal entered upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was in his chamber, then he went out. Usamah said, and I asked him what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had done? Bilal said, "He went to relieve himself."

The Shaykh : Write next to it: Good chain of narration.

The questioner : Good chain of narration.

The Shaykh : Give me the notebook, Abu Ahmad, it is between your legs.
