English Translation
'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace be upon him), said: 'I would enter the house for a need while there was a sick person in it, and I would only ask about him while passing by. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) would extend his head toward me while he was in the mosque, and I would comb his hair. He would not enter the house except for a need when he was observing i'tikaf.' In Ibn Bukayr's narration: 'when they were observing i'tikaf.'
