Chapter 12 | There Are Twelve Months

12-65 حدثنا محمد بن علي ما جيلويه رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم ابن هاشم، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن أبي عمير رفعه إلى أبي عبد الله عليه السلام في قوله الله عز وجل "إِنَّ عِدَّةَ الشُّهُورِ عِنْدَ اللهِ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْراً فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ" قال: المحرم وصفر وربيع الاول وربيع الآخر وجماد الاولى وجمادى الآخر ورجب وشعبان وشهر رمضان وشوال وذو القعدة وذو الحجة. منها أربعة حرم: عشرون من ذي الحجة والمحرم وصفر وشهر ربيع الاول وعشر من شهر ربيع الآخر

12-65 Muhammad ibn Ali Majiluyih - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashim quoted his father, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr who linked it up through a chain of narrators to Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) who said the following regarding the Honorable the Exalted God’s words, ‘The number of months in the sight of Allah is twelve (in a year)- so ordained by Him the day He created the heavens and the Earth;…’ They are Muharram; Safar; Rabial-Awwal; Rabial-Akhar, Jamadiul-Awwal; Jamadiul-Akhar; Rajab; Shaban; Ramazan; Shawwal; Dhul-Qa’ade and Dhul-Hijja. Four of them are the sacred months including twenty days in Dhul-Hijja, all of Muharram, Safar and Rabial-Awwal, and the last ten days of Rabial-Akhar.”
