حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَسْوَدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّا أُمَّةٌ أُمِّيَّةٌ، لاَ نَكْتُبُ وَلاَ نَحْسُبُ الشَّهْرُ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا ‏"‏. يَعْنِي مَرَّةً تِسْعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ، وَمَرَّةً ثَلاَثِينَ.

ইবনু ‘উমার (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেনঃ আমরা উম্মী জাতি। আমরা লিখি না এবং হিসাবও করি না। মাস এরূপ অর্থাৎ কখনও ঊনত্রিশ দিনের আবার কখনো ত্রিশ দিনের হয়ে থাকে। (১৯০৮, মুসলিম ১৩/২, হাঃ ১০৮০, আহমাদ ৪৮১৫) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ১৭৭৮, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
