Description-1
عَنْ أَنَسٍ, قَالَ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْمَدِينَةَ وَلَهُمْ يَومَانِ يَلْعَبُونَ فِيهِمَا فَقَالَ ‏"‏ "مَا هَذَانِ الْيَوْمَانِ ‏" ‏.‏ قَالُوا كُنَّا ن َلْعَبُ فِيهِمَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَبْدَلَكُمْ بِهِمَا خَيْرًا مِنْهُمَا يَوْمَ الأَضْحَى وَيَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ
Narrated by Anas Ibn Malik (RA). He said, the Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, came to Madinah and saw that the people of Madinah were playing and enjoying on two specific days. The Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, asked: What are these two days for? Everyone said, in Jahili period we used to play sports for these two days. The Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah has given you two better days instead of these two days." That is, the days of Eid-ul-Azha and Eid-ul-Fitr.
Abu Dawood-1134

Description-2
عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا يُصَلُونَ الْعِيدَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ

Narrated from Ibn Umar (RA). He said, the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, Abu Bakr and Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to perform the Eid prayer before the sermon.

Narrated by Jabir Ibn Samurah (RA). He said, I performed the two Eid prayers with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, not once or twice, but many times, except for the Adhan and Iqamat (Iqamat/Iqamat).
Abu Dawood-1148

3/ What is Miladunnabi?
The word Milad means birth or birthday. By 'Miladunnabi' we mean our Prophet Muhammad SAW. Its birth or birthday.

4 / When is the birthday?
[عن عبد الله بن عباس:]
وُلِدَ النبيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلمِ يومَ المدينةِ وتُنْبِئَ يومَ المدينىِ وتوفيَ يومَ المدينىِ وخرج محاجرًا من مكةَ إلى المدينةِ يومَ المدينةِ وقَدِمَ المدينَ يومَ المدينةِ ورُفِعَ الحجرُ السودُ يومَ المدينةِ
Ahmed Shaker (ت 1377)
, مسند احمد ٤‏/172 • اسناده ساحيه
Narrated by Ibn Abbas, Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was born on Monday.
Musnad Ahmad 4/172

5/When is the date of birth? (with differences)
There are various types of descriptions available about the date of birth. Below are the descriptions:

1. Two dates of Rabiul Awal.

2. Eighth date of Rabiul Awal.

3. Tenth of Rabiul Awal.

4. Bar date of Rabiul Awal.

5. Seventh of Rabiul Awal.

6. To remain eight days of Rabiul Awal.

7. The twelve dates of the month of Ramadan. (Al-Bidayah One Nihaya 2/282)

From these descriptions, Hafez Ibn Kachir. Among 'al-Bidaya wan Nihaya' mentions the dates 'two', 'eight' and 'twelve' with importance. So we will discuss only these three dates in detail. Inshallah

Document of two dates:

Muhammad bin Saad told us Muhammad bin Omar bin Waqad al-Islamy al-Waqdy said: كان ابومعشر نجيح بن عبد الرحمن المدنى يقلون: ولد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يوم المدنيا لليلتين خلتامن شهر ربيع الاوول.

"Ibn Sa'd narrated on the authority of his teacher Waqidi that Abu Mashar al-Madani used to say that the Prophet, may God's prayers and peace be upon him, was born on Monday, the second day of the month of Rabi'ul Awal." (Tabaqaat Ibn Sa'd 1/47)

The point to be noted here is that both Rabbi Waqedi and his teacher Abu Ma'shar are 'Zayif' in this narration. Imam Hafez Ibn Hajar Askalani, the famous Rizal Shastra. Waqedi said: متروك مع إلى علمه 'despite having extensive knowledge, he is abandoned.'Takreebut Tahzeeb p.498) and Abu Ma'shar said: Zaeef 'he is Zayif' (Takreeb p.559) so the narrators of the narration of the two dates are Matruk and Zayif. This could not be accepted.

Document dated eight:

It should be known that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was born in the month of Rabiul Awal in the year in which the elephant army attacked Makkah. In this case, all notable historians agree.

Ibn Kathir Rah. Said:

Ibn Ishaq said: And his birth, peace be upon him, is common to the devil, and this is famous among the public. Ibrahim bin Al-Manthir al-Hazami said: He is the one who does not doubt him among the scholars.

Imam al-Maghazi Ibn Ishaq said, the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, was born in the year of the elephant army. This is the popular opinion of Jamhur. And Ibrahim bin Munzir Rah. He said, Our scholars have no doubt about the year of the birth of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace.

Therefore, this much is confirmed that the year of the attack on Makkah by the elephants, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was born. Now the question remains that how many days after the attack of the elephants, the Prophet was born? Hafez Hadith Imam Suhayli, Imam Ibn Kathir, Imam Masoudi. The purest view of this is that the Prophet (peace be upon him) was born fifty days after the elephant army attacked Makkah. Abu Bakr Muhammad Bin Musa Al Khawarezimi. He said that the elephant army attacked Makkah to stay thirteen days of Muharram month. Fifty days after that, when the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, was born, the day of his birth fell on the eighth of Rabiul Awal. Therefore, it is confirmed that according to the mentioned great Imams, the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, was born on the eighth of Rabiul Awal. For more details see: (Subulul Huda War Rashad Fi Sirati Khairil Ibad 1/335)

Bar date document:

Hafez Ibn Kachir Rah. Bar said about the dated document:

And it was said to the ten of them, Ibn Ishaq wrote it and it was written by Ibn Abi Shibet in his authorship on Affan bin Muslim on Saeed bin Mina on Jaber and Ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with them, and they said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, was born to the elephant on Monday, the second day of the month of Rabi’a. Al-Awwal وفيه باظ وفيه عرج به السماع وفيه حجر وفيه MAT, ووتو هوالمهور عند الجموبر و الله علم.

Ibn Ishaq. Bar has clearly described the date. And Ibn Abi Shayba in his book 'Musannaf' narrates on the authority of Affan Ibn Muslim from Saeed Ibn Mina that Jaber (RA) and Ibn Abbas (RA) said that the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam attacked Mecca in the month of Rabiul Awal. Bar was born on Monday. And in the month of Rabiul Awal he was given prophethood and in this month he became king and in this month he migrated and in this month he died. (Hafez Ibn Kachir said) This view is famous for Jamhur. (Al-Bidayah One Nihaya 2/283)

Two things are worth noting here:

1. A hadith was presented as proof of the date. Both Rabi Affan bin Muslim and Saeed bin Mina are reliable in this hadith. However, Affan bin Muslim did not hear the hadith directly from Saeed bin Mina. Because Saeed bin Mina passed away around 110 Hijri. And Affan bin Muslim was born around 134 Hijri. (Source: Siyaru A'lamin Nubala 9/25) This implies that there is a Rabbi between both Affan bin Muslim and Sa'id bin Mina whose name is not mentioned in this chain. So this hadith became Munqat. And Munka hadith is not acceptable as evidence.

2. Hafez Ibn Kachir Rah. After describing this view, he said, 'This view is famous to Jamhur'. The thing to note is that he called this view famous but he did not call it pure; Rather, he called the eight dates pure. It should be known that not all famous things are pure; Rather, there are many popular things in society that are not pure. We think that's what happened here.

However, it has been established by the above discussion that, according to the great muhaddith imams and historians, the Prophet was born on Monday, the eighth of the month of Rabiul Awal. Historically, this is pure opinion. Hadith related to the evidence of twelve dates 'Munkate'. So the opinion of Bar Date is not pure though popular.

1. In Sahih Bukhari, the sun was eclipsed in 10 Hijri when the youngest son of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, Ibrahim (R.A.) passed away. And at that time, the age of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, was 63 years.

2. Mathematically, it is known that the eclipse of the tenth Hijri occurred at eight thirty minutes in the morning in the month of January 632 AD.

3. If we go back 63 years from this time as a lunar month, it can be seen that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, was born in 571. And at this time the first date of Rabiul Awal month is 12th April.

4. Although there is disagreement about the date of birth, but in this case, everyone agrees that the birth of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, took place on a Monday in the month of Rabiul Awal. And reliable opinions are limited to 8-12.

5. 8th-12th of Rabiul Awal falls on Monday. For these reasons, it can be said with certainty that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, was born on April 20, 571 AD. (Siratun Nabi 1/117)

6/Eid Miladunnabi starts when?
According to the investigation, in 604 Hijri, the king of Mosul, Iraq, Abu Saeed Muzaffar Uddin Kawkari.
[Died-630 AH]
And Abul Khattab Umar bin Dihiya [d.-633 AH] introduced the first traditional method of Milad Mahfil.

At that time it was observed only on 12th Rabiul Awal. But later it started to be observed on any Duar occasion.

The said Darbari scholar Abul Khattab bin Umar bin Dihaya was the first to write a book entitled “Attanbeer Fi Mawlidissirajim Munir” validating Milad Mahfil. As a result, the king was happy and gave a bounty of 1000 dinars to the scholar.

Allama Ibn Hajar Asqalani wrote about the scholar:

كتير الوقيعة في عمامة وفي الصلف من ولامة خبيث اللسان احمق شيد الكبر في عمر دين متاونا

He used to behave abusively with the former Imams and scholars. He was foul-mouthed, extremely stupid, arrogant, religiously narrow-minded and lazy. {Lisanul Mizan-1/338}
