Hadith 2178
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي سِمَاكٌ أَبُو زُمَيْلٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا اعْتَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نِسَاءَهُ ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كُنْتَ فِي غَرْفَةٍ تِسْعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ الشَّهْرَ يَكُونُ تِسْعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ "
Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) separated himself from his pure wives (for one month), I said, "O Messenger of Allah, you have stayed in the upper room for twenty-nine days (the month has not yet been completed)." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, a month can also be of twenty-nine days."
