692. 'Abdur-Rahmān bin Abī Bakrah narrated from his father that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The two months of 'Eid will not both be deficient: Ramaḍān and Dhul-Hijjah." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Abū Bakrah is a Ḥasan Hadīth. This Hadīth has been reported from 'Abdur-Rahmān bin Abī Bakr from the Prophet ﷺ in Mursal form. Ahmad commented on the meaning of the Hadīth "The two months of 'Eid will not both be deficient" saying: "Ramaḍān and Dhul-Hijjah will not both be decreased in the same year, if one of them is decreased, then the other one will be complete." Ishāq said: "It means that they will not be deficient." He said: "If it is twenty-nine days, it will still be complete,
not deficient." So according to the view of Ishāq it is possible that the two months would be decreased in the same year.

Commentary
The month consisting of twenty-nine days will have the same status as the one of thirty days, it will be regarded a full month, not incomplete; as the Prophet ﷺ regarded the month of twenty-nine days as a complete month and ended the period of Īlā according to it.
