Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ آلَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ نِسَائِهِ شَهْرًا فِي مَشْرَبَةٍ لَهُ فَمَكَثَ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَيْسَ آلَيْتَ عَلَى شَهْرٍ قَالَ ‏ "‏ الشَّهْرُ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad bin al-Muthanna informed us; Khalid narrated to us; Humayd narrated to us, from Anas, who said: The Prophet abstained from his wives for a month in an upper room of his. He stayed there twenty-nine nights, then came down. It was said, ‘Messenger of Allah, did you not vow to stay away for a month?’ He said, ‘The month is twenty-nine days.’
