الْمُعْتَكِفُ لَا يَشَمُّ الطِّيبَ وَ لَا يَتَلَذَّذُ بِالرَّيْحَانِ وَ لَا يُمَارِي وَ لَا يَشْتَرِي وَ لَا يَبِيعُ قَالَ وَ مَنِ اعْتَكَفَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَهُوَ يَوْمَ الرَّابِعِ بِالْخِيَارِ إِنْ شَاءَ زَادَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ وَ إِنْ شَاءَ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِنْ أَقَامَ يَوْمَيْنِ بَعْدَ الثَّلَاثَةِ فَلَا يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى يُتِمَّ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ .
Translation
Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayoub, from Abu Ubeyda, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The one performing <span class="iTxt">Itikaaf</span> cannot smell the perfume, and cannot derive pleasure with the aromas, nor wrangle (arguments), nor buy, nor sell’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And the one who performs <span class="iTxt">Itikaaf</span> for three days, so he would be with the choice on the fourth day. If he so desires to, he can increase three more days, but if he so desires to he can go out from the Masjid. So if he stays for two days after the (first) three, so he cannot go out from the Masjid until he completes the other three’.
