قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ قُرِئَ عَلَى الْحَارِثِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَشْهَبُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سُئِلَ مَالِكٌ:‏‏‏‏ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ:‏‏‏‏ لَا صَفَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ كَانُوا يُحِلُّونَ صَفَرَ يُحِلُّونَهُ عَامًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيُحَرِّمُونَهُ عَامًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا صَفَرَ،‏‏‏‏

Malik was asked about the meaning of his saying: There is no safar. He replied: The people of pre-Islamic Arabia used to make the month of safar lawful (for war). They made it lawful in one year and unlawful in another year. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: There is no safar.
