2061. It was narrated from Umm Salamah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ swore to keep away from some of his wives for a month. On the twenty-ninth day, in the evening or the morning, it was said: "O Messenger of Allāh, only twenty-nine days have passed." He said: "The month is twenty-nine days." (Sahih)

Arabic text

2061 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ السُّلَمِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَيْفِيٍّ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ آلَى مِنْ بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ شَهْرًا، فَلَمَّا كَانَ تِسْعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ رَاحَ، أَوْ غَدَا، فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّمَا مَضَى تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ، فَقَالَ: «الشَّهْرُ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ»

Commentary

'The month is twenty-nine days' means that this month is twenty-nine days; if it was of thirty days I would stay away for one more day.
