Umar's viewpoint about fast of Rajab

It is narrated from Kharsha bin Hurr that he said:
“I saw Umar bin Khattab beating up some people, who kept fasts during month of Rajab to such an extent that they broke their fasts; and said: Rajab? What is Rajab? Rajab is month, which the people of Jahiliyya used to regard as important. When Islam arrived it was given up.”


[Ibne Abi Shaibah has mentioned this report [in Musannaf, 3/102] and Tibrani has also mentioned it in Awsat. As is mentioned in Majmauz Zawaaed, 3:191 and Kanzul Ummaal, 4:341 [8/635, H. 24580].
