Sahih Muslim 1086b — Ten Ten and Nine

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1086b

Muhammad b. Sa'd reports from his father Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “The month is thus and thus, and thus,” and the narration explains it as ten, ten, and nine. This is a clear month 29 days hadith. The wording turns the idea into a simple count. It does not say every month is twenty-nine. It says the month can be expressed this way, as twenty-nine. The report is helpful because it removes doubt about the gesture found in nearby narrations. The meaning is easy: the lunar month may be completed at twenty-nine days. That simple wording keeps the lesson clear for anyone learning how the month may be counted.
