Hadith 393

And by his chain, from Al Husayn Bin Abu Al A’la, from Abu Baseer, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I asked him-asws about (month of) Rajab. He-asws said: ‘That is a month the pre-Islamic people used to revere it, and they were naming it as the most solid month’. I said, ‘Shaban? ’ He-asws said: ‘The affairs branch out in it’. I said, ‘Ramazan? ’ He-asws said: ‘A month of Allah-azwj the Exalted, and during it your Master-ajfj would be called out by name and name of his-ajfj father-asws’. I said, ‘Shawwal? ’ He-asws said: ‘The affairs of the people are paralysed in it’. I said, ‘Zul Qadah? ’ He-asws said: ‘They are sitting in it’. I said, ‘Zul Hijjah? ’ He-asws said: ‘That is a month of blood’. I said, ‘Al-Muharram? ’ He-asws said: ‘The Permissible is prohibited in it and the Prohibited is permitted in it’. I said, ‘Safar and Rabie? ’ He-asws said: ‘In it is terrible disgrace and a mighty matter’. I said, ‘Jumady? ’ He-asws said: ‘In it is the victory, from its beginning to its end’’. [177]
