Arabic text

1659 - حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " شَهْرَا عِيدٍ لَا يَنْقُصَانِ: رَمَضَانُ، وَذُو الْحِجَّةِ "

Commentary

This Prophetic statement has been explained with various opinions. According to one opinion, this Hadith means even though these months are of twenty-nine days, yet in reward and virtues they are great and do not consider them inferior. Another meaning of the Hadith is that both months of the two 'Eid in the same year will not be twenty-nine days.
