The ignorance of the common people in that they revere the month of Rajab more than they revere the other sacred months, and no hadith has been established regarding the virtue of Rajab.

The Shaykh : Some people, seeking good but out of ignorance, revere the month of Rajab more than they revere other months. Yet Rajab is just one month out of how many? It is one of the four sacred months. It does not stand out from them in any way. Indeed, the hadiths reported regarding its virtue, as the scholars have stated—such as Ibn Hajar in "Tabyin al-‘Ajab fi ma Warada fi Fadl Rajab" and other scholars, and Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) in "Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim Mukhalafat Ahl al-Jahim"—the majority of the hadiths reported regarding the virtue of Rajab are either fabricated or weak; either fabricated or weak. Shaykh al-Islam said in *Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim*: "The best of what has been narrated regarding Rajab is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when Rajab enters: Mishkat al-Masabih 1369". He says: This is the best of the hadiths reported regarding its virtue. This is on the condition that there is also a discussion regarding this hadith: Mishkat al-Masabih 1369. Some scholars have criticized it. As for the rest, there is nothing.
