Summary:
Nabi ﷺ lived among his companions (Radhiyallahu ’anhum) as a Nabi for many years, from age 40 to 53 in Makkah and then 10 years in Madina.
We will not find any Ahadith from the six authentic books of Ahadith regarding celebrating the birthday of Nabi ﷺ. Nabi ﷺ could have told the Sahabah (Radhiyallahu ’anhum) that this is my birthday and let us celebrate it.
The Sahabah (Radhiyallahu ’anhum) did not celebrate his birthdate but followed his teachings and practices.
The celebration of Nabi ﷺ’s birth was about living his teachings.
Celebrating Nabi ﷺ’s birth without following his teachings is considered mere lip service.
