أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ يَزِيدَ هُوَ أَبُو بُرَيْدٍ الْجَرْمِيُّ بَصْرِيٌّ عَنْ بَهْزٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَکَمِ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام فَقَالَ الشَّهْرُ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ يَوْمًا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2139
It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم swore not to come to his wives for a month, and twenty-nine days passed. I said: ‘Did you not vow to keep away from your wives for a month? I have counted twenty-nine days.’ The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: The month is twenty-nine days.” (Sahih)
