عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ وُلِدَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْإِثْنَيْنِ وَاسْتُنْبِئَ يَوْمَ الْإِثْنَيْنِ وَتُوُفِّيَ يَوْمَ الْإِثْنَيْنِ وَخَرَجَ مُهَاجِرًا مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ يَوْمَ الْإِثْنَيْنِ وَقَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ يَوْمَ الْإِثْنَيْنِ وَرَفَعَ الْحَجَرَ الْأَسْوَدَ يَوْمَ الْإِثْنَيْنِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was born on a Monday, received prophethood on a Monday, and passed away on a Monday. He (peace and blessings be upon him) set out from Makkah Mukarramah to Madinah Munawwarah for migration on a Monday and arrived in Madinah Munawwarah on a Monday, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) lifted the Black Stone on a Monday as well.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The blessed birth of the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam occurred on a Monday; this is a unanimously agreed-upon fact. However, there is a difference of opinion regarding the date in the lunar month. Several views have been mentioned, among which the following two are:
(1) … The 9th of Rabi' al-Awwal
Ibn Abd al-Barr has transmitted that historians have deemed this view to be correct. According to Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, this is the definitive and certain opinion. Ibn Hazm has also given preference to this, and Abu Khattab ibn Dihyah has adopted this view in his book "Al-Tanweer fi Mawlid al-Basheer al-Nadheer."
(2) … The 12th of Rabi' al-Awwal
This is the opinion of Ibn Ishaq.
The first view is the preferred one, and it was in the same year that Abraha attacked Makkah, which is known as the Year of the Elephant ('Aam al-Feel). On that day, it was the 22nd of April, 571 CE.
