Musnad Ahmad 5017 — Musnad of Abdullah ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ يُحَدِّثُ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " إِنَّا أُمَّةٌ أُمِّيَّةٌ ، لَا نَكْتُبُ وَلَا ، نَحْسُبُ الشَّهْرُ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا ، وَعَقَدَ الْإِبْهَامَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ ، وَالشَّهْرُ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا " ، يَعْنِي تَمَامَ ثَلَاثِينَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "We are an unlettered nation; we do not know calculation. Sometimes the month is like this, like this, and like this," and the third time the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) folded his thumb, "and sometimes it is like this, like this, and like this," meaning a complete thirty days.
