حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ مَرَرْتُ عَلَی أَبِي ذَرٍّ بِالرَّبَذَةِ فَقُلْتُ مَا أَنْزَلَکَ بِهَذِهِ الْأَرْضِ قَالَ کُنَّا بِالشَّأْمِ فَقَرَأْتُ وَالَّذِينَ يَکْنِزُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ وَلَا يُنْفِقُونَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ مَا هَذِهِ فِينَا مَا هَذِهِ إِلَّا فِي أَهْلِ الْکِتَابِ قَالَ قُلْتُ إِنَّهَا لَفِينَا وَفِيهِمْ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 4662
Narrated Abu Bakr: The Prophet said, "Time has come back to its original state which it had when Allah created the Heavens and the Earth; the year is twelve months, four of which are sacred. Three of them are in succession; Dhul-Qa'da, Dhul-Hijja and Al-Muharram, and (the fourth being) Rajab Mudar (named after the tribe of Mudar as they used to respect this month) which stands between Jumad (ath-thani) and Sha'ban."
