4233. It was narrated that Nubaishah said: “It was said to the Prophet ﷺ: ‘During the Jâhiliyyah we used to offer the ‘Atirah.’ He said: ‘Slaughter for the sake of Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, no matter what month it is; do good for the sake of Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, and feed the poor.”’ (Sahih)
4228 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَمِيلٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ، عَنْ نُبَيْشَةَ قَالَ: ذُكِرَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: كُنَّا نَعْتِرُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، قَالَ: «اذْبَحُوا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي أَيِّ شَهْرٍ مَا كَانَ، وَبَرُّوا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَأَطْعِمُوا»

The purpose is to emphasize that there is no restriction of a particular month. The poor could be fed anytime. The restriction of the month of Rajab is not adequate. Specifying a particular month on our own and thereupon holding it compulsory or meritorious is not appropriate.
