1658 - حَدَّثَنَا مُجَاهِدُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: «مَا صُمْنَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ، أَكْثَرُ مِمَّا صُمْنَا ثَلَاثِينَ»

Commentary
The month of Ramadān came nine times in the life of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ after the fasting was made obligatory; because fasting was made an obligatory duty in the second year after emigration (2 H) and the Prophet had passed away in the third month of the Islamic calendar, Rabīul-Awwal before Ramadān, of the eleventh year, after migration (11 H). During this period at least five times Ramadān was observed with twenty-nine days.
