Muhammad ibn Rumh narrated to us, al-Layth informed us — and Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us, and the wording is his — Layth narrated to us, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, had separated from his wives for a month, then he came out to us on the twenty-ninth [day]. We said, "Today is only the twenty-ninth." He said, "The month is [only] that," and he clapped his hands three times, holding back one finger on the last [clap].
