Summary
Hadith scholars such as Ibn al-Jauzi, al-Suyuti and al-Laknawi judged this narration to be fabricated. It is not found in any reliable hadith collection, most of its narrators are unknown, and one narrator is abandoned by hadith scholars. It must not be spread or attributed to the Prophet. The virtue of the sacred months, including Rajab, is nonetheless mentioned in a statement of Ibn Abbas that good deeds and sins are magnified in them.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
merupakan riwayat yang palsu. Perkara ini sebagaimana yang telah disebutkan oleh ulama hadis seperti Imam Ibn al-Jauzi, Imam al-Suyuti, Imam al-Laknawi dan lain-lain.
