حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الشَّهْرُ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ وَطَبَّقَ شُعْبَةُ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَكَسَرَ الْإِبْهَامَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ قَالَ عُقْبَةُ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ وَالشَّهْرُ ثَلَاثُونَ وَطَبَّقَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us, Shu'bah told us, from Uqbah ibn Hurayth: I heard Ibn Umar say: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The month is twenty-nine [days]" - and Shu'bah clasped his hands together three times, folding down his thumb on the third time. Uqbah said: And I think he [also] said: "And the month is thirty [days]" - and he clasped both his palms together three times [fully].
