Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، وَخَالِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " شَهْرَا عِيدٍ لاَ يَنْقُصَانِ " . فِي حَدِيثِ خَالِدٍ " شَهْرَا عِيدٍ رَمَضَانُ وَذُو الْحِجَّةِ " .
Translation
Abu Bakra reported that the Prophet said, “The two Eid months do not fall short.” In the version of Khalid, it says, “The two Eid months are Ramadan and Dhu al-Hijjah.”
Translation notes
The phrase “do not fall short” is rendered literally; its intended interpretation is debated, so no explanatory interpretation has been added.
