What we know for sure is that day of his death was ‘Monday’, as for the date we have different narrations.
Narrated Hisham’s father: Aisha said, “I went to Abu Bakr (during his fatal illness) and he asked me, ‘In how many garments was the Prophet shrouded?’ She replied, ‘In three Sahuliya pieces of white cloth of cotton, and there was neither a shirt nor a turban among them.’ Abu Bakr further asked her, ‘On which day did the Prophet die?’ She replied, ‘He died on Monday.’ He asked, ‘What is today?’ She replied, ‘Today is Monday.’ He added, ‘I hope I shall die sometime between this morning and tonight.’ Then he looked at a garment that he was wearing during his illness and it had some stains of saffron. Then he said, ‘Wash this garment of mine and add two more garments and shroud me in them.’ I said, ‘This is worn out.’ He said, ‘A living person has more right to wear new clothes than a dead one; the shroud is only for the body’s pus.’ He did not die till it was the night of Tuesday and was buried before the morning.”
(Bukhari – Kitab al Janaiz)
13th Rabi ul Awwal: Muhammad Suleman Mansurpure
12th Rabi ul Awwal: Mubarakpuri
2nd Rabi ul Awwal: Ibn e Hajr
1st Rabi ul Awwal: Ibn e Jareer
28th Safar: Sh’ia Historians (They also mention the day to be Monday)
From the books of Hadith we can be sure that the year Prophet Muhammad died:
9th Dhil Hijjah was Friday (Bukhari – Prophetic Commentary on the Qur’an)
“….It was Friday and the Prophet was standing at ‘Arafat (i.e. the Day of Hajj)”
(Narrated by Umar bin Al-Khattab)
We have four possibilities:
1- If Dhil Hijjah, Muharram and Safar all were of 30 days, Rabi ul Awwal starts on Wednesday and Mondays fall on 6th, 13th and so on.
2- If Dhil Hijjah, Muharram and Safar all were of 29 days, Rabi ul Awwal starts on Sunday and Mondays fall on 2nd, 9th, 16th and so on.
3- If any two months were of 29 days and one of 30 days, Rabi ul Awwal starts on Monday and Mondays fall on 1st, 8th, 15th and so on.
4- If any two months were of 30 days and one of 29 days, Rabi ul Awwal starts on Monday and Mondays fall on 7th, 14th and so on.
As for 28th Safar:
1- If Dhil Hijjah and Muharram are 30 days it is Sunday.
2- If Dhil HIjjah and Muharram are 29 days it is Friday
3- If one is 29 and the other is 30 it is Saturday.

Conclusion
Hence, the view of Ibn e Hajr (2nd Rabi ul Awwal) , view of Ibn e Jareer (1st Rabi ul Awwal) and Suleman Mansurpuri (13th Rabi ul Awwal) are the only possibilities and the common views of 12th Rabi ul Awwal and 28th Safar have been proven to be incorrect.

The miracles related to the earth:

There are some miracles related to the earth concerning solid matter and some related to animals. A. The spouting
of water from between his fingers:

Imâm al-Bukhârî narrated on the authority of Anas Ibn Mâlik who said: “I saw the Nabi Pakﷺ one day, when it was time for ‘Asr (afternoon) prayer. Then the people were searching for water to make Wudû’ (ablution) but could not find any. The Nabi Pakﷺ ordered that some water for Wudû’ be brought to him. He ﷺ then placed his hand in the pot and ordered the people to start making Wudû’ using that water. I saw the water spouting from underneath his fingers, and the people started performing Wudû’ until all of
them finished “

Imâm al-Bukhârî a narrated on the atomy of Anas who said: “The Nabi Pakﷺ went out on one of his journeys with some of his companions. They went on walking until the time of the prayer became due, and then they could not find any water to perform ablution. They said: “O Messenger of Allâh! We cannot find water to perform ablution”, and he # could see in their faces that they disliked it. One of them went away and brought a little amount of water in a pot. The Nabi Pakﷺ took it and performed ablution, and then stretched his four fingers onto the pot and said (to the people): “Get up to perform your Wudû’. They started performing the ablution till all of them did it, and they were seventy or persons

Imâm Bukhari also narrated on the authority of Anas who said: “It was the time of prayer one day and the people whose houses were close to the mosque went to their houses to perform Wudû’, while the others remained there. A stone pot containing water was brought to the Nabi Pakﷺ, who wanted to put his hand in it, but it was too small. So, he had

to bring his fingers together before putting his hand in the pot. Then all the people performed Wudû’ (with that water)”. They were eighty men according to the narration of Anas.¹ 17

Imâm al-Bukhârî narrated on the authority of alBarâ’ Ibn ‘Azib who said : “We were one thousand four hundred persons on the day of alHudaibiyah (Treaty). Al-Hudaibiyah is a well, and we drew out its water without leaving a single drop. The Prophet Nabi Pakﷺ sat at the edge of the well and asked for some water with which he rinsed his mouth and then he threw it out into the well. We stayed for a short while and then drew water from the well and quenched our thirst, and even our riding animals drank water to their satisfaction
