Hadith 66

the jurists, passed away at the beginning of that year, and following him-asws were prominent figures like Sa’id ibn Al-Musayyib, Urwah Ibn Al-Zubayr, Saeed Ibn Jubayr, and the majority of the jurists of Madinah. In Al Kafi, Al Irshad, and Al Durr, it is mentioned that he-asws passed away in Muharram in the year 75. It is also said that he-asws passed away on Saturday, the 18th of Muharram, in the year 75, poisoned by Al Waleed Ibn Abdul Malik. Regarding the events of the 26th day of the month, it is mentioned that on the 26th of Hijja in the 23rd year of Hijrah, Umar Ibn Al Khattab, the son of Al Khattab, from the tribe of Uday, was fatally wounded. His full name was Umar Al Khattab Ibn Nufayl Ibn Abd Al Uzza Ibn Riyaḥ Ibn Abd Allah Ibn Qurt Ibn Rizah ibn Ka’b al-Qurashi Al Adawi, also known as Abu Hafs. Saeed Ibn Al-Musayyib said Abu Lu’lu killed Umar Ibn Al-Khattab and wounded twelve men, six of whom died from the wounds. A man from Iraq then threw a cloak over him and pounced on him. When he realized he could not move, he stabbed himself and died. I say that a group of people have stated that Umar Ibn Al Khattab was killed on the 9th of Rabbi Al Awwal, and the people call it the day of ‘Baba Shuja Al Deen’. The details of this event have already been explained in Kitab Al-Fitan. He, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, said regarding the events of the 27th day: This is the day of the Prophetic Commission. It was narrated from Ibn Abbas and Anas Ibn Malik that they said Allah‑azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed to the Prophet-saww on Monday, the 27th of Rajab, when he-saww was forty years old. Ibn Masud said that the Prophet-saww was forty-one years old, and it is also said that his-saww mission began in the month of Ramazan, based on the verse: The Month of Ramazan is that in which the Quran was Revealed, [2: 185] refers to the beginning of the Revelation which occurred on the 17th or 18th of Ramazan. And during the 27th of Jumadi Al Aakhira in the 13th year of Hijra, was the death of Abu Bakr Abdullah Ibn Uthman Ibn Abi Quhafa Ibn Amr ibn Ka’b Ibn Sa’d Ibn Taym Ibn Luayy Ibn Ghalib Ibn Fihr Ibn Al-Nadr occurred. He is referred to as Qureyshi, and all his descendants from Al-Nadr are considered Qureyshi, while those who are not from his lineage are not considered Qureyshi. And he, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, said regarding incidents of the 28th day of the month, in ‘Tareekh’ Al Mufeed, and for the two night remaining of a month of Safar in the year 27th of the Hijrah was the expiry of our master Al Seyyid Al Imam of the grandson Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws both. And in ‘Al Rishad’ and ‘Al Misbah’, in Safar of the year fifty from the Hijrah, and in the book ‘Al Kafi’, it is reported, in Safar in its end the year forty-nine, and the like that is in the book ‘Al Durr’, and it is said the day of Thursday of Rabbi Al Awwal of the year fifty-one, and in the book ‘Al Istiyaab’ there is a differing regarding the time of his-asws expiry. It is said he-asws passed away in the year forty-nine, and it is said in Rabbi Al Awwal of the year fifty ten years after passing of caliphate of Muawiya, and it is said, but he-asws passed away in the year fifty-one, and was buried at the house of his-asws father-asws at Baqie Al Gharqad from the last half of ‘Kitab Al Adad Al Qawiya’ of the sheykh Razi Al Deen Ali, brother of the Allamah. I say that there are many notable events for the days of the Arabic and Persian months, and most of them are mentioned in the sections of this part, each in its place. Some of these events have already been discussed in the volumes on Stories, Prophethood, Imamate, tribulations, the Lives of the Imams-asws, Visitation, and others. The compilers of the calendars also mention many of these events in every year. Perhaps what we have presented here is sufficient for our intended purpose, if Allah-azwj so Desires. Those who come across the first half of the book Al Adad mentioned earlier will likely find much related to the notable events of the days of the month, from the beginning to the 15th day of it. And Allah-azwj is the Grantor of success’’. [5]
