International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach needs to be investigated after what he said about the politicization of sports, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing.







Earlier, the IOC president said in a conversation with Russian pranksters Vladimir Kuznetsov ("Vovan") and Alexey Stolyarov ("Lexus") that the organization was keeping a close eye on any political statements made by Russian athletes, and Ukraine was helping them with this.


"It is necessary to carry out an internal investigation, perhaps even an external one, because everything related to the Olympic Games is of great journalistic interest, especially in Western countries. An investigation is necessary, it is important to know exactly how Thomas Bach is using the powers entrusted to him. Why do we hear about a conspiracy from a man who heads the IOC with a certain country in order not to allow athletes from another country to participate in international sports competitions? Why do we hear words that directly point to the dream, the desire that in reality turns into a politicization of sport, from a person who swore to obey completely different values?" the diplomat said.


Zakharova also called Bach's statements "a horrific revelation, a confession of how the post occupied by him is used in contradiction to all international legal norms promoting sport in the name of peace, development and cooperation." "All of this requires a deep, thorough analysis and investigation," the spokeswoman pointed out.


According to the diplomat, "people like Thomas Bach do a disservice to the world of sport, to the Olympic movement, they not only violate, but directly contradict global Olympism."


Russia accused International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach on Tuesday of taking part in a "conspiracy" with Ukraine to exclude its strongest athletes from this year's Paris Games.





Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova made the allegation after two Russian pranksters known as Vovan and Lexus published a recording of a conversation with Bach in which he was falsely led to believe he was speaking to an African sports official.


Bach said in the call that the IOC had established a special panel to monitor the media and the internet and ensure that Russian athletes who had made political statements in support of their government could not take part in the Olympics. "We have also offered to the Ukrainian side - not only offered, but asked them - to provide us with their knowledge of the behaviour of such (Russian) athletes or officials," Bach could be heard saying in English on the recording.


She added: "The relationship of IOC President Bach with the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine and its officials, and the admissions of a 'request to monitor Russian athletes' should be the subject of a thorough investigation."


Relations between Russia and the IOC have worsened sharply in the run-up to the Olympics, at which Russian and Belarusian athletes will compete as neutrals, without their flags and anthems, because of the war in Ukraine. They have also been banned from taking part in the opening parade.

Watch Russia's Tetrahedron Electronic Warfare System Being Tested in Special Op Zone











In addition to advanced combat drones, Russia is also rapidly developing electronic warfare systems to counter enemy weaponry. A brand new such system has just passed military performance tests with flying colors.







The Tetrahedron electronic warfare system is specifically designed to combat all sorts of modern first-person view (FPV) kamikaze drones and has been successfully tested in the special military op zone, Andrei Ivanov said, a representative of the developer.


"The Tetrahedron electronic warfare system is intended for covering [our] equipment against modern strike drones of various manufacturers. This is how it works – a wide-band obstacle is set up on control channels, including using offset frequencies. (This is a) simple and reliable suppressor that has passed complex testing and proved its effectiveness," he noted.


According to the designer, the system is fit to be used on both military and civilian objects. Tetrahedrons are equally capable of covering military equipment, ambulances, or public transport alike. It can also be used to protect fixed objects such as roadblocks or bus stops.


Tetrahedron systems have been successfully tested against a number of different size FPV-drones operating at different frequencies that are manufactured by independent developers.



Watch Russian Su-25 Jet Unleash Torrent of Fire on Ukrainian Positions



Su-25 attack aircraft play a crucial role in the special military operation, providing air support to Russian troops.






The Russian Ministry of Defense has released footage showing the combat work of Su-25 fighter jets in the north of the Donetsk People's Republic. A squadron of jets carried out a sortie against Ukrainian positions, unleashed a barrage of unguided air-to-ground missiles and returned to base in one piece.


The pilot of the attack aircraft explained that they provide air support for the Russian infantry.


Su-25s are able to launch missiles at extremely low altitudes and evade enemy air defenses with sophisticated maneuvers and state-of-the-art devices that deceive heat-seeking systems by creating false targets.



Watch Russian Drone Operators Explain How They Disrupt Ukraine's Military Plans



Conducting troop rotation and resupplying units in the field has become a nigh impossible task for Ukrainian commanders due to incessant Russian drone strikes.






Previously, Ukrainian convoys could feel relatively safe deep in home territory, but the increased range of new Russian drones has quickly put an end to that.


Ukrainian troop movements are being monitored around the clock and are constantly being disrupted by drone strikes, one Russian drone operator has revealed.


“Previously, they could drive around like they were moving through peaceful cities, delivering their load and driving away,” the serviceman said, referring to Ukrainian convoys conducting troop rotation. “Since we got our hands on FPV [first-person view] drones, it became nearly impossible for them.”





















'Rogue Power All Along': US Has Never Strayed From Belief It Can 'Violate Any Agreement'

'Rogue Power All Along': US Has Never Strayed From Belief It Can 'Violate Any Agreement'

'Rogue Power All Along': US Has Never Strayed From Belief It Can 'Violate Any Agreement'

Last week, the US abstained from a UN resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza for the month of Ramadan, allowing a ceasefire resolution to pass for the first time. The US subsequently claimed the resolution was non-binding, even though UN Security Council resolutions are considered international law.







The United States has been a “rogue power” since the end of the Second World War, Dr. Radhika Desai, a professor at the Department of Political Studies at the University of Manitoba and director of the Geopolitical Economy Research Group told Sputnik’s The Critical Hour on Monday.


Desai described the US comments to undercut the power of the ceasefire vote as “typical US behavior,” and that “the US has been a rogue power all along.”


“Remember, the United States actually hates the United Nations. The Security Council itself was something it managed to put together with the cooperation of other major powers as kind of a limit on the recognition of the sovereign equality of all countries,” Desai explained. “The US did not create the post-world war order, the United States essentially used everything in its power… which was not unlimited, to prevent a truly equal world order from coming into being.”


Desai noted the US has always flaunted the rules of the UN system because “the rules were made by a body larger than” the US. “The United States has always considered itself free to violate any agreement it likes, which is why it is a rogue state. But what I’m saying is that it’s been a rogue state all along,” Desai explained, adding that it has violated the “world order” it helped create after World War II “many times.”


“What the US wanted in the post-world war order was to create a world which would open itself up to the entry of US corporations for their own profit,” Desai said, adding that if it was powerful enough to craft the world without its allies “it would have never needed to violate the rules.”


Desai further pointed out the unipolar world the US claimed after the Soviet Union did not last nearly as long as they expected.


Recalling how economist Jim O’Neill's famous BRICS report was published in 2001 and came only a decade after the fall of the Soviet Union, Desai highlighted how “already within a decade, the US aspiration to be the unipolar leader of the world was essentially gone.”


Instead of leading, the US has been isolated because it is acting as a unipolar leader, while in reality the world is multipolar, Desai explained. So, instead of following the rules of the UN it helped create, the US “effectively destroys the world order it created after World War II,” she said, referencing the blocking of WTO judges that neutered the organization, as well as the UN Security Council.


“The US has never got its way, and that’s what it can’t stand,” Desai concluded. “But you see, as Einstein said, you keep doing the same thing again and again and expect a different result, that's madness. Well, that madness of the United States is now reaching new heights. If anything is new about the situation, that's what it is.”

The Russian Armed Forces have destroyed a workshop manufacturing Ukrainian drones, the Ministry of Defense (MoD) in Moscow reported, summarizing the latest developments in the special military operation.







"Operational and tactical aviation, missile troops and artillery of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have destroyed an aircraft armory, a workshop for manufacturing and maintaining unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), as well as clusters of Ukrainian troops and military equipment in 152 districts," the MoD said in a statement.


Russian forces also occupied better ground in the Donetsk area in the past 24 hours and repelled two Ukrainian attacks, the ministry noted.


"The Ukrainian Armed Forces have lost more than 250 military personnel, two tanks, three armored combat vehicles and 16 military vehicles," the MoD added.


When it comes to Ukraine's military losses, the ministry pointed out that the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost over 140 soldiers in casualties and two tanks south of Donetsk in the past day.


In the Avdeyevka region, the Ukrainian troops lost more than 300 soldiers and a tank during the same time period, the MoD concluded.

A video released by the Russian Ministry of Defense shows a T-72 tank working closely with Orlan-30 drone operators to thwart a Ukrainian counterattack attempt near the recently liberated town of Avdeyevka in the Donetsk People's Republic.


The Orlan-30 reconnaissance UAV identified Ukrainian troops preparing for a counterattack and informed the tank crew. The steel behemoth made short work of the Ukrainian soldiers.


Earlier, Konstantin Gavrilov, the head of the Russian delegation at the Vienna talks on military security and arms control, told Sputnik that the special military operation had shattered the myth of Western military superiority, with Russian tanks destroying fortified positions at a distance of 10 km.



Watch Russian Rapira Cannon Hammer Ukrainian Positions Near Kupyansk



Russia’s Ministry of Defense has published footage that shows artillery in combat action, wreaking havoc on Ukrainian positions. 100mm Rapira cannons destroyed masked dugouts in moments.





The Rapira cannon is often called a 'sniper rifle for artillerymen' due to its precision and reliability. Rapira can fire up to six rounds a minute, destroying targets at seven kilometers.


Earlier, Western media reported that Russia had boosted its production capacity to 250,000 artillery munitions per month which amounts to 3 million shells annually. The US and Europe collectively can manufacture million and a half million shells per year, leaving Ukraine outgunned.



Two Russian Tu-95MS Strategic Bombers Fly Over Sea of Japan



Two Russian Tu-95MS strategic bombers have completed a routine 10-hour flight over the neutral waters in the Sea of Japan, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Tuesday.


The bombers were escorted by Su-30SM fighter jets, the ministry said, adding that the mission was carried out in strict compliance with international airspace regulations.


"Two long-range strategic missile carriers Tu-95MS conducted a scheduled flight in the airspace over the neutral waters of the Sea of Japan. The flight lasted around 10 hours," the ministry said.


Russian long-range pilots fly routinely over neutral waters of the Arctic, North Atlantic, Black and Caspian seas, and the Pacific Ocean, the ministry said.

Sports that uphold sportsmanship are only symbolic for the IOC to trick other nations into entering into the umbrella of western activities that showcase western views with cunning and intimidation behind the scenes.







Vovan and Lexus managed to unmask the real IOC, where the IOC chief said Olympic officials asked Ukraine to spy on Russian athletes.


International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach has admitted to a pair of pranksters that Ukrainians have been asked to spy on Russian athletes online so that they could be banned from the upcoming Paris Games.


In a video-call posted on Tuesday, in which one of the Russian duo known as Vovan and Lexus impersonated an African official, Bach claimed that by sanctioning Russian athletes, the IOC is “punishing those who are responsible for the annexation.”


The IOC chief was apparently referring to the former Ukrainian regions of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporozhye, which overwhelmingly voted to join Russia in public referenda in 2022. They followed the Crimean Peninsula, which did the same in 2014 after a Western-backed coup in Kiev.


“No Russian anthem can be played and no Russian flag can be raised [at the Paris 2024 Olympics],” the IOC president stated.


Answering a question on whether Russian athletes who support the Ukraine conflict deserved the right to take part in the Olympics, Bach revealed that the IOC has a special commission which monitors public statements by athletes in support of the government in Moscow.


“We have a special supervisory commission together with an independent company which is monitoring the internet, the media, and public declarations,” he stated.


“We also offered the Ukrainian side – and not only offered, but also asked to provide us with their knowledge about the behavior of such athletes or officials,” Bach further revealed.


He stressed that any athletes found to have expressed support for the Russian government will be banned from the Olympics.


Russian athletes are allowed to participate in the Games as neutrals in individual sports, but are barred from team events.


After the start of the Ukraine conflict in February 2022, the IOC recommended that athletes from Russia and its close ally Belarus should not be allowed to compete in international events. In December last year, the body ruled that a limited number of people from the two countries could participate in the Olympics as AINs (individual neutral athletes).


In March, the international body announced that the maximum number of Russians who could qualify for the Paris Games was 55, while Belarus is limited to 28 athletes. However, according to IOC director James Macleod, the two nations are unlikely to meet the quotas, and around 36 Russian and 22 Belarusian athletes are expected to make it to the Games.


Several top-ranking European officials, including Latvian Foreign Minister Krisjanis Karins and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, have fallen for prank calls by Russian duo Vovan and Lexus in recent months, during which the politicians revealed their thoughts on sensitive topics such as the Ukraine conflict.


It would be better for nations in the world that uphold morals and the dignity of life, values ​​that fulfill humanity's expectations, not to enter and participate in IOC activities.





















I'tikaf, keutamaan, adab dan hukumnya

I'tikaf, keutamaan, adab dan hukumnya

الاعتكاف فضله وآدابه وأحكامه











: ما هو الاعتكاف
الاعتكاف : هو لزوم المسجد بنية مخصوصة ، لطاعة الله تعالى : وهو مشروع مستحب باتفاق أهل العلم ،
قال الإمام أحمد فيما رواه عنه أبو داود : ( لا أعلم عن أحد من العلماء إلا أنه مسنون )







Apa itu itikaf?


Itikaf : adalah berdiam di mesjid dengan niat tertentu, dalam rangka mentaati Allah SWT, itu adalah amalan yang dianjurkan menurut kesepakatan para ulama.


Imam Ahmad berkata, sebagaimana Abu Dawud meriwayatkan darinya: (Saya tidak mengetahui satu pun dari para ulama kecuali yang demikian itu sunnah.)


وقال الزهري رحمه الله
: ( عجباً للمسلمين ! تركوا الاعتكاف ، مع أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ، ما تركه منذ قدم المدينة حتى قبضه الله عز وجل ).


Al-Zuhri rahimahullah berkata:
(Sungguh mengherankan umat Islam! Mereka meninggalkan itikaf, padahal Nabi Muhammad SAW tidak meninggalkannya sejak ia tiba di Madinah hingga Allah SWT. Yang Maha Kuasa membawanya.)


فائدة الاعتكاف وثمرته:


إن في العبادات من الأسرار والحكم الشيء الكثير ، ذلك أن المدار في الأعمال على القلب ، كما قال الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم : ( ألا وإن في الجسد مضغة إذا صلحت صلح الجسد كله ، وإذا فسدت فسد الجسد كله ، ألا وهي القلب ) رواه البخاري ( 52 ) ومسلم ( 1599 ) .



Manfaat dan Keutamaan I'tikaf



Banyak sekali rahasia dan hikmah dalam beribadah, karena yang menjadi fokus amal adalah hati, sebagaimana Rasulullah SAW bersabda: “Sesungguhnya ada segumpal darah di badan yang jika dia sehat, maka seluruh tubuh sehat, dan jika rusak, maka rusaklah seluruh tubuh, dan itulah hati.” (HR. Al-Bukhari, 52) dan Muslim (1599).


وأكثر ما يفسد القلب الملهيات ، والشواغل التي تصرفه عن الإقبال على الله عز وجل من شهوات المطاعم ، والمشارب ، والمناكح ، وفضول الكلام ، وفضول النوم ، وفضول الصحبة ، وغير ذلك من الصوارف التي تفرق أمر القلب ، وتفسد جمعيته على طاعة الله ، فشرع الله تعالى قربات تحمي القلب من غائلة تلك الصوارف ، كالصيام مثلاً ، الصيام الذي يمنع الإنسان من الطعام والشراب ، والجماع في النهار ، فينعكس ذلك الامتناع عن فضول هذه الملذات على القلب ، فيقوى في سيره إلى الله ، وينعتق من أغلال الشهوات التي تصرف المرء عن الآخرة إلى الدنيا


Yang paling merusak hati adalah gangguan dan keasyikan yang mengalihkannya dari mencari Tuhan Yang Maha Esa, seperti nafsu makan, minum, dan nikah, omong kosong, tidur sia-sia, kemalasan dalam berteman, dan gangguan-gangguan lain yang memecah belah urusan hati dan merusak pergaulannya. dengan ketaatan kepada Allah. Maka Allah SWT telah menghalalkan. Sajian (kajian) yang menjaga hati dari bahaya gangguan tersebut, seperti puasa, misalnya puasa yang menghalangi seseorang dari makan, minum, dan bersenggama di siang hari. Pantangan ini dari keingintahuan kenikmatan tersebut terpancar dalam hati, menguatkan perjalanannya menuju Tuhan, dan membebaskannya dari belenggu hawa nafsu yang mengalihkan seseorang dari akhirat ke dunia.


وكما أن الصيام درع للقلب يقيه مغبة الصوارف الشهوانية ، من فضول الطعام والشراب والنكاح ، كذلك الاعتكاف ، ينطوي على سر عظيم ، وهو حماية العبد من آثار فضول الصحبة ، فإن الصحبة قد تزيد على حد الاعتدال ، فيصير شأنها شأن التخمة بالمطعومات لدى الإنسان ، كما قال الشاعر :


Sebagaimana puasa merupakan tameng bagi hati yang melindunginya dari akibat hawa nafsu yang berlebih-lebihan, dari keserakahan terhadap makanan, minuman, dan persetubuhan, demikian pula i'tikaf mengandung rahasia besar, yaitu melindungi hamba dari pengaruh buruknya. keserakahan akan persahabatan, karena persahabatan bisa melampaui batas kewajaran, dan itu menjadi serupa dengan kerakusan akan makanan dalam diri seseorang.


عـدوك من صــديقك مستفاد , فـلا تستكثرن من الصّــحاب


Musuhmu lebih bermanfaat dari temanmu, jadi jangan meremehkan mereka


فإن الداء أكثر ما تراه , يكون من الطعام أو الشراب


Sebagian besar penyakit yang Anda lihat berasal dari makanan atau minuman.


وفي الاعتكاف أيضاً حماية القلب من جرائر فضول الكلام ، لأن المرء غالباً يعتكف وحده ، فيُقبل على الله تعالى بالقيام وقراءة القرآن والذكر والدعاء ونحو ذلك .


وفيه كذلك حماية من كثرة النوم ، فإن العبد إنما اعتكف في المسجد ليتفرغ للتقرب إلى الله ، بأنواع من العبادات ، ولم يلزم المسجد لينام .


ولا ريب أن نجاح العبد في التخلص من فضول الصحبة ، والكلام والنوم يسهم في دفع القلب نحو الإقبال على الله تعالى وحمايته من ضد ذلك


Itikaf juga menjaga hati dari godaan omong kosong, karena seseorang sering kali menyendiri, sehingga ia menghadap Allah SWT dengan berdiri, membaca Al-Qur’an, berdzikir, berdoa, dan sejenisnya.


Hal ini juga memberikan perlindungan dari tidur yang berlebihan, karena hamba hanya mengasingkan diri di masjid untuk mengabdikan dirinya agar semakin mendekatkan diri kepada Tuhan, melalui berbagai jenis ibadah, dan ia tidak tinggal di masjid untuk tidur.


Tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa keberhasilan seorang hamba dalam menghilangkan rasa ingin tahu akan teman, ucapan, dan tidur turut mendorong hati untuk kembali kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa dan menjaganya dari hal yang sebaliknya.



الجمع بين الصوم والاعتكاف



لا ريب أن اجتماع أسباب تربية القلب بالإعراض عن الصوارف عن الطاعة ، أدْعى للإقبال على الله تعالى والتوجه إليه بانقطاع وإخبات ، ولذلك استحب السلف الجمع بين الصيام والاعتكاف ، حتى قال الإمام ابن القيم رحمه الله : ( ولم ينقل عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه اعتكف مفطراً قط ، بل قالت عائشة : ( لا اعتكاف إلا بصوم ) أخرجه أبو داود ( 2473 )


ولم يذكر الله سبحانه وتعالى الاعتكاف إلا مع الصوم ، ولا فعله رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إلا مع الصوم .


فالقول الراجح في الدليل الذي عليه جمهور السلف : ( أن الصوم شرط في الاعتكاف ، وهو الذي كان يرجحه شيخ الإسلام أبو العباس ابن تيمية ) زاد المعاد 2/87،88


واشتراط الصوم في الاعتكاف نقل عن ابن عمر وابن عباس ، وبه قال مالك والأوزاعي وأبو حنيفة ، واختلف النقل في ذلك عن أحمد والشافعي .


وأما قول الإمام ابن القيم رحمه الله : ( ولم ينقل عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه اعتكف مفطراً قط ) ففيه بعض النظر ، فقد نقل أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ، اعتكف في شوال ) رواه البخاري ( 1928 ) ومسلم ( 1173 ) . ولم يثبت أنه كان صائماً في هذه الأيام التي اعتكافها ، ولا أنه كان مفطراً .


فالأصح أن الصوم مستحب للمعتكف ، وليس شرطاً لصحته .


مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في معتكفه : اعتكف عليه الصلاة والسلام في العشر الأول من رمضان ثم العشر الأواسط ، يلتمس ليلة القدر ، ثم تبيّن له أنها في العشر الأواخر فداوم على اعتكافها .


فعن أبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه قال : كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، يجاور في العشر التي وسط الشهر ، فإذا كان من حين تمضي عشرون ليلة ، ويستقبل إحدى وعشرين ، يرجع إلى مسكنه ، ورجع من كان يجاور معه ، ثم إنه أقام في شهر ، جاور فيه تلك الليلة التي كان يرجع فيها ، فخطب الناس ، فأمرهم بما شاء الله ، ثم قال : ( إني كنت أجاور هذه العشر ، ثم بدالي أن أجاور هذه العشر الأواخر ، فمن كان اعتكف معي فليبت في معتكفه ، وقد رأيت هذه الليلة فأنسيتها ، فالتمسوها في العشر الأواخر ، في كل وتر ، وقد رأيتني أسجد في ماء وطين ) .


قال أبو سعيد : مطرنا ليلة إحدى وعشرين ، فوكف المسجد في مصلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، فنظرت إليه ، وقد انصرف من صلاة الصبح ، ووجهه مبتل ماء وطيناً فتحقق ما أخبر به صلى الله عليه وسلم وهذا من علامات نبوته . ثم حافظ صلى الله عليه وسلم ، على الاعتكاف في العشر الأواخر ، كما في الصحيحين من حديث عائشة رضي الله عنها أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يعتكف العشر الأواخر من رمضان حتى توفاه الله عز وجل ثم اعتكف أزواجه من بعده . رواه البخاري ( 1921 ) ومسلم ( 1171 ).



Menggabungkan puasa dan pengasingan



Tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa gabungan alasan mendidik hati dengan berpaling dari penyimpangan ketaatan, berujung pada berpaling kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa dan kembali kepada-Nya tanpa gangguan dan kekecewaan.Oleh karena itu para pendahulu menganjurkan menggabungkan puasa dan khalwat, hingga Imam Ibnu al-Qayyim, semoga Tuhan mengasihani dia, berkata: (Tidak diriwayatkan dari Nabi, semoga Tuhan memberkati dia dan memberinya kedamaian, bahwa dia mengasingkan diri. Dia tidak pernah berbuka. Sebaliknya, Aisha berkata: (Di sana tidak ada pengasingan kecuali dengan puasa.) Diriwayatkan oleh Abu Dawud (2473).


Tuhan Yang Maha Esa tidak menyebutkan khalwat kecuali dengan puasa, begitu pula Rasulullah SAW tidak melakukannya kecuali dengan puasa.


Pendapat yang paling benar dalam dalil yang dianut mayoritas salaf adalah: (Puasa adalah syarat untuk berkhalwat, dan inilah yang disukai oleh Syekh al-Islam Abu al-Abbas Ibnu Taimiyyah) Zad al-Ma'ad 2/ 87,88.


Syarat puasa i'tikaf diriwayatkan dari Ibnu Omar dan Ibnu Abbas, dan hal ini dikatakan oleh Malik, Al-Awza'i dan Abu Hanifah, dan riwayatnya berbeda-beda dari Ahmad dan Syafi'i.


Adapun sabda Imam Ibnu al-Qayyim semoga Allah merahmatinya: (Tidak diriwayatkan dari Nabi Muhammad SAW bahwa ia pernah mengasingkan diri tanpa berbuka) ada beberapa pertimbangannya. , sebagaimana diriwayatkan bahwa Nabi Muhammad SAW mengasingkan diri pada bulan Syawal, diriwayatkan oleh Al-Bukhari (1928) dan Muslim (1173). Tidak ada bukti bahwa dia berpuasa pada hari-hari khalwat tersebut, dan tidak pula terbukti bahwa dia berbuka.


Dengan Nabi, semoga doa dan damai Allah besertanya, dalam pengasingannya: Dia, semoga doa dan damai Allah besertanya, mengasingkan diri pada sepuluh hari pertama Ramadhan, lalu sepuluh hari pertengahan, mencari Lailatul Qadr, lalu menjadi jelas baginya bahwa itu terjadi dalam sepuluh hari terakhir, jadi dia melanjutkan pengasingannya.


Atas wewenang Abu Saeed Al-Khudri radhiyallahu 'anhu, dia berkata: Rasulullah SAW biasa menghabiskan sepuluh hari di tengah bulan, dan ketika dua puluh hari. malam telah berlalu dan dua puluh satu malam telah tiba, dia akan kembali ke tempat tinggalnya, dan orang yang tinggal bersamanya akan kembali, dan kemudian dia akan tinggal di kota. Sebulan, di mana dia bermalam di tempat dia kembali. , lalu dia berkata kepada orang-orang dan memerintahkan mereka untuk melakukan apa yang dikehendaki Allah. Kemudian dia berkata: “Saya melakukan shalat malam ini selama sepuluh hari ini, dan kemudian keinginan saya adalah untuk menjalankan sepuluh malam terakhir ini. Maka siapa pun yang berada di pengasingan bersama saya harus bermalam di tempat pengasingannya, dan aku melihat malam ini dan melupakannya.” Maka carilah itu di sepuluh hari terakhir, di setiap malam ganjil, dan kamu akan melihatku bersujud di air dan lumpur.)


Abu Saeed berkata: Hujan turun pada malam tanggal dua puluh satu, dan masjid berhenti di area sholat Rasulullah, semoga Tuhan memberkati dia dan memberinya kedamaian, jadi saya melihatnya, dan dia telah selesai. shalat subuh, dan wajahnya basah oleh air dan lumpur, maka apa yang dikatakannya, semoga Tuhan memberkatinya dan memberinya kedamaian, menjadi kenyataan dan ini adalah salah satu tanda kenabiannya.


Kemudian Shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam, dia memelihara itikaf selama sepuluh malam terakhir, seperti dalam dua Shahih hadits Aisyah radhiyallahu 'anhu bahwa Nabi SAW. , biasa mengasingkan diri selama sepuluh hari terakhir bulan Ramadhan hingga Allah SWT mencabut kematiannya, kemudian istri-istrinya melakukan i'tikaf setelahnya. Diriwayatkan oleh Al-Bukhari (1921) dan Muslim (1171).
