For 500 Bonus points:
Scholars agree that Rasulullah SAWS passed away on a Monday. Some people reported that the date of his passing away was 12th Rabi'-ul-Awwal. Count the number of days between the farewell Hajj and this date, and assess whether 12th Rabi'-ul-Awwal could have fallen on a Monday.
Friday, 9th Zhul-Hijjah, 10 AH (10th year of the Hijra)
Bonus points:
3 months and 3 days
If 29 days each -> 90 days
If 30 days each -> 93 days
Realistically correct range: 91 or 92 days (3 consecutive months cannot have 29 or 30 days each)
Divide 91 or 92 by 7 to get a remainder of 0 or 1.
This means 12th Rabi'-ul-Awwal must have fallen on a Saturday or a Sunday. Monday could have been the 13th or 14th, or the 6th or 7th of Rabi'-ul-Awwal.
