When twenty-nine nights had passed, he entered upon ʿĀʾishah, beginning with her. ʿĀʾishah said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, you had sworn that you would not enter upon us for a month, and we have awakened having counted twenty-nine nights." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The month is twenty-nine nights."(1)

15 - Chapter: Mention of the report of Ibn ʿAbbās concerning this

2133 - ʿAmr ibn Yazīd — he is Abū Burayd al-Jarmī, a Baṣran — informed us, from Bahz, who said: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from Salamah, from Abū al-Ḥakam, from Ibn ʿAbbās, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "Jibrīl came to me, peace be upon him, and said:"

(1) Both of its chains of transmission are sound. The uncle of ʿUbaydullāh is Yaʿqūb ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Saʿd al-Zuhrī, and Ṣāliḥ is Ibn Kaysān, and Shuʿayb is Ibn Abī Ḥamzah al-Umawī. It is in *al-Sunan al-Kubrā* under number (2453).

It was also narrated — in extended form — by al-Bukhārī (5191) from al-Ḥakam ibn Nāfiʿ, with this chain of transmission.

It was also narrated — likewise — (2468) via ʿUqayl, from al-Zuhrī, with it.

Al-Ḥāfiẓ said in *al-Fatḥ* 9/290: The apparent meaning of this context suggests that it is a continuation of the ḥadīth of ʿUmar, such that this would have been witnessed by ʿĀʾishah, and that is plausible in my view. However, it is more likely that this is from the suspended statements of al-Zuhrī in this transmission, for this portion is, in his view, from ʿUrwah, from ʿĀʾishah. Muslim narrated it — as previously explained in the earlier narration — from the narration of Maʿmar from him, that the Prophet ﷺ swore that he would not enter upon his wives for a month. Al-Zuhrī said: Then ʿUrwah informed me, from ʿĀʾishah, who said... and he mentioned it.

It was also narrated — similarly, in extended form — by Aḥmad (222), Muslim (1479): (34), al-Tirmidhī (2461) and (3318), the author in *al-Kubrā* (9112), and Ibn Ḥibbān (4268) via the route of Maʿmar, from al-Zuhrī, with it. At its end comes from the speech of ʿUmar without mentioning ʿĀʾishah: "And he had sworn that he would not enter upon them for a month, due to the intensity of his anger toward them, until Allah, Glorified and Exalted, rebuked him."

Al-Sindī said: His statement "afshathu" means: she revealed it. "Mawjidatuhu" means: his anger.

His statement "the month is twenty-nine" means: that month, or the intended meaning is: the month is sometimes like that.
