Nasiʾ (Arabic: ٱلنَّسِيء, an-Nasīʾ, "postponement"), also Romanized Nasii, or Nasie, was an aspect of the pre-Islamic Arabian calendar, mentioned in the Quran in the context of the "four forbidden months".[1] In pre-Islamic Arabia, the decision of "postponement" had been administered by the Banu Kinanah,[2] by a man known as the al-Qalammas (pl. qalāmisa).[3] Different interpretations of its meaning have been proposed.
