قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا تَقُولُ فِي الِاعْتِكَافِ بِبَغْدَادَ فِي بَعْضِ مَسَاجِدِهَا فَقَالَ لَا اعْتِكَافَ إِلَّا فِي مَسْجِدِ جَمَاعَةٍ قَدْ صَلَّى فِيهِ إِمَامٌ عَدْلٌ بِصَلَاةِ جَمَاعَةٍ وَ لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يُعْتَكَفَ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْكُوفَةِ وَ الْبَصْرَةِ وَ مَسْجِدِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ مَسْجِدِ مَكَّةَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Umar Bin Yazeed who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘What are you<sup>asws</sup> saying regarding the <span class="iTxt">Itikaaf</span> at Baghdad in some of its Masjids?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no <span class="iTxt">Itikaaf</span> except in a general Masjid in which a just Imam<sup>asws</sup> has Prayed the congregational Prayer, and there is no problem if one was to do <span class="iTxt">Itikaaf</span> in Masjid of Al-Kufa, and Al-Basra, and Masjid of Al-Medina, and Masjid of Makkah’.
