سنن نسائی · Hadith 2145
It was narrated that Muhammad bin Saad bin Abi Waqqas said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘The month is like this and like this and like this.” (One of the narrators) Muhammad bin ‘Ubaid clapped his hands three times to demonstrate it, then he withheld his left thumb the third time. Yahya bin Saeed said to Isma’il (one of the narrators): “From his father?” He said: “No.” (Sahih)
