Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 2909 — he said: The Arabs (by moving the months)

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ قَالَ : نَا الصَّلْتُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الطُّفَاوِيُّ قَالَ : نَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدَ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ : كَانَ الْعَرَبُ يَجْعَلُونَ عَامًا شَهْرًا وَعَامًا شَهْرَيْنِ ، وَلَا يُصِيبُونَ الْحَجِّ إِلَّا فِي كُلِّ سِتَّةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً مَرَّةً ، وَهُوَ النَّسِيءُ الَّذِي ذَكَرَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي كِتَابِهِ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ عَامُ‌‌‌‌‌ حَجَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِالنَّاسِ وَافَقَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْعَامِ الْحَجَّ ، فَسَمَّاهُ اللهُ الْحَجَّ الْأَكْبَرَ ، ثُمَّ حَجَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَ النَّاسُ الْأَهِلَّةَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : إِنَّ الزَّمَانَ قَدِ اسْتَدَارَ كَهَيْئَتِهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ اللهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ إِلَّا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدَ ، وَلَا عَنْ دَاوُدَ إِلَّا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : الصَّلْتُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "The Arabs (by moving the months forward and back) would make (Hajj fall in) one month one year and in two months another year, and (because of this shuffling) their Hajj would come (at its proper time) only once every twenty-six years. This is the Nasi' (postponement) that Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, mentioned in His Book. Then in the year in which Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) led the people in Hajj, that Hajj coincided with (its proper) time, so Allah Almighty named it 'the Greater Hajj'. Then the following year the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed Hajj, and the people received the new moon (of Dhu al-Hijjah); on that occasion the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Indeed, time has come round to its original form, as it was on the day Allah created the heavens and the earth.'"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Amr bin Shu'ayb (may Allah have mercy on him) except Dawud bin Abi Hind (may Allah have mercy on him), and no one from Dawud (may Allah have mercy on him) except Muhammad bin Abd al-Rahman al-Tufawi (may Allah have mercy on him); and al-Salt bin Mas'ud al-Jahdari (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in transmitting it."
