When we are told that there is a specific month and date, or day of the week, in the Islamic lunar calendar (or, infrequently, the Persian calendar) when something happened - for instance, "the Torah was revealed on 6 Ramadan" - this is because it is mentioned in narrations. Bihar al-Anwar includes many of these.
