mentioning The Differences Reported From Ismail In The Narration Of Sad Bin Malik About that

It was narrated form Muhammad bin Sad Abi Waqqas, from his father, that:

the Prophet (ﷺ) struck one hand with the other and said: "The month is like this and like this and like this," retaining one finger the third time.

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى الأُخْرَى وَقَالَ ‏

‏ الشَّهْرُ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا ‏

‏ ‏.‏ وَنَقَصَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ إِصْبَعًا ‏.‏

It was narrated from Muhammad bin Sad that his father said:

"The Messenger of Allah said: "The month is like this and like this and like this,"' meaning twenty-nine. Yahya bin Saeed and others narrated it from Ismail, from Muhammad bin Sad, from the Prophet.

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏

‏ الشَّهْرُ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا ‏

‏ ‏.‏ يَعْنِي تِسْعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ ‏.‏ رَوَاهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَغَيْرُهُ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏

It was narrated that Muhammad bin Sad bin Abi Waqqas said:

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'The month is like this and like this and like this." (One of the narrators) Muhammad bin 'Ubaid clapped his hands three time to demonstrate it, then he withheld his left thumb the third time. Yahya bin Saeed said to Ismail (One of the narrators): "Form his father?' He said: "No."

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏

‏ الشَّهْرُ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا ‏

‏ ‏.‏ وَصَفَّقَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ بِيَدَيْهِ يَنْعَتُهَا ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ قَبَضَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ الإِبْهَامَ فِي الْيُسْرَى ‏.‏ قَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قُلْتُ لإِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ لاَ ‏.‏
