(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، وَإِسْحَاقُ يَعْنِي الْأَزْرَقَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " إِنَّا أُمَّةٌ أُمِّيَّةٌ ، لَا نَكْتُبُ وَلَا نَحْسُبُ ، الشَّهْرُ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا " حَتَّى ذَكَرَ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ ، قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ : وَطَبَّقَ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ، وَحَبَسَ إِبْهَامَهُ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ .
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." The third time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) folded his thumb, meaning twenty-nine (days).
