It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both); he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was born in the "Year of the Elephant". This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs, but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was born on the "Day of the Elephant". Humayd bin al-Rabi' is alone in mentioning the words "Day of the Elephant" in this hadith, and no other narrator has corroborated (supported) him in it.

It is narrated from Imam Muhammad bin Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) that the blessed birth of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took place when twelve nights of the month of Rabi' al-Awwal had passed.
