Core sense — the new moon; the moon; a lunar monthgenerated

1I saw the new moon of the month—رَأَيْتُ الشَّهْرَ

fast the first day of the lunar month—صُومُوا الشَّهْرَ

the utility of watching for the new moon is on the twenty-ninth night—إِنَّمَا الشَّهْرُ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ

Or the meaning is that the lunar month is a period of twenty-nine nights.

on this sense The new moon, when it appears: so called because it is conspicuous. This is the original meaning. [See the last sense in this entry.]

on this sense Both of these expressions come from traditions.

1.1

Also the moon; or the moon when it is conspicuous and near to being full.

1.2the period of the pilgrimage—أَشْهُرٌ مَعْلُومَاتٌ

A lunar month; a certain well-known number of days: so called because it is made manifest by the moon. It is an arabicized word, or, as some say, Arabic, and so called because of its being manifest. Plural, of a small number, أَشْهُرٌ, and of a large number, شُهُورٌ.

The modern names of the months are: 1. المُحَرَّمُ [to which the adjective الحَرَامُ is often added]: 2. صَفَرٌ [to which the adjective الخَيْرُ is often added]: 3. رَبِيعٌ الأَوَّلُ: 4. رَبِيعٌ الآخِرُ [or الثَّانِى]: 5. جُمَادَى الأُولَى: 6. جُمَادَى الآخِرَةُ [or الثَّانِيَةُ]: 7. رَجَبٌ [to which الأَصَمُّ and الفَرْدُ are often added]: 8. شَعْبَانُ [to which المُعَظَّمُ is often added, and sometimes الشَّرِيفُ]: 9. رَمَضَانُ [to which المُبَارَكُ belongs]: 10. شَوَّالٌ [to which المُكَرَّمُ is frequently added]: 11. ذُو القَعْدَةِ: and 12. ذُو الحِجَّةِ. [See the second of the two tables on page 1254.]

The names by which the tribe of 'Ád called them, in the same order, are: 1. مُؤْتَمِرٌ: 2. نَاجِرٌ: 3. خَوَّانٌ: 4. بُصَّانٌ: 5. رُبَّى: 6. حَنِينٌ: 7. الأَصَمُّ: 8. عَاذِلٌ: 9. نَاتِقٌ: 10. وَعْلٌ: 11. وَرْنَةُ: and 12. بُرَكٌ [or بُرَكُ?]. This is from Ibn-El-Kelbee, under the word مُؤْتَمِرٌ. [But authors differ about some of these names, as will be seen in other articles.]

Or nine days of Dhu-l-Hijjeh with the night before the day of the sacrifice, according to Esh-Sháfi'ee; or the whole of Dhu-l-Hijjeh, according to Málik — in these two explanations the two months next before are meant to be included; or Showwál, Dhu-l-Kaadeh, Dhu-l-Hijjeh and Moharram, according to Aboo-'Amr Esh-Shaabee.

Said in the Qur'ān 2:193 to be the period of the pilgrimage, because الحَجُّ, which comes immediately before it, means وَقْتُ الحَجِّ.

Or زَمَانُ الحَجِّ applies to Showwál, Dhu-l-Kaadeh and ten days of Dhu-l-Hijjeh, according to Aboo-Haneefeh and most of the learned, part of Dhu-l-Hijjeh being called a month figuratively, as the Arabs often do in similar cases relating to time; for example when they say مَا رَأَيْتُهُ مُذْ يَوْمَانِ, the period of separation having been a day and a part of a day.

1.3figurative · مجاز — inferred

Also a learned man, because of his fame. Plural شُهُورٌ.

1.4

According to the K it also means the like of a nail-paring, but this is apparently a mistake, perhaps arising from a damaged copy of what follows.

A poet says, describing camels: [They went forth from Nejd in a state of confidence, the new moon being like the nail-paring]

Go ye, then, for four months, backwards and forwards, (as ye will), throughout the land, but know ye that ye cannot frustrate Allah (by your falsehood) but that Allah will cover with shame those who reject Him.
