Sahih (Darussalam)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏‏ كَمْ مَضَى مِنَ الشَّهْرِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ قُلْنَا اثْنَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ وَبَقِيَتْ ثَمَانٍ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏"‏ الشَّهْرُ هَكَذَا وَالشَّهْرُ هَكَذَا وَالشَّهْرُ هَكَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَأَمْسَكَ وَاحِدَةً ‏.‏"
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"How much of the month has passed?" We said: "Twenty-two (days), and there are eight left." The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The month is like that, and the month is like that, (and the month is like that), three times, and he withheld one finger the last time."
