The Month in Which the Messenger of Allah was Born

We were informed by Abu Al-Husayn ibn Al-Fadl, who said: Abdullah ibn Ja'far narrated to us. He said: Ya'qub ibn Sufyan narrated to me. He said: 'Ammar ibn Al-Hasan Al-Nasa'i narrated to me. He said: Salama [ (30) ] ibn Al-Fadl narrated to me. He said: Muhammad ibn Ishaq said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was born on a Monday, in the Year of the Elephant, [ (31) ], twelve nights into the month of Rabi' al-Awwal.

This narration can be found in "Muslimah" [ (30) ]. [ (31) ] This narration is mentioned in Ibn Hisham's "Seerah" (1:171), in "Jami' at-Tirmidhi" (4: 589), and in "Musnad Ahmad" (4:215) in the hadith of Muhammad ibn Ishaq from Al-Muttalib Ibn Abdullah ibn Qays ibn Makhramah, from his father, from his grandfather, who said: "I was born the same year as the Messenger of Allah's birth, the Year of the Elephant."

Abu Isa said: "This hadith is hasan (good) and gharib (singular), we only know it from the narration of Muhammad ibn Ishaq."
