We know there is a consensus of scholars that prophet(pbuh) died on 12th Rabbi-ul-awwal, while there is no consensus on birth date of prophet(pbuh)
Imaam an-Nawawee (d.676H) - rahimahullaah- said: "There is on agreement that he was born on Monday in the month of Rabee'ul-Awwal. There is a difference of opinion whether this day was the 2nd, 8th, 10th or 12th day of the month - and these are the four most well-known opinions concerning this. (Tahdheeb Seeratun-Nabawiyyah (p.20) of Imaam an-Nawawee.)
Neither did Allaah's Messenger (pbuh), nor the Rightly-Guided Khaleefahs (Successors), nor the Companions, may Allaah be please with them all, nor any of their followers from the first three excellent generations, celebrate this day - and they were the most knowledgeable of people concerning the Sunnah (the Prophetic guidance), and had the greatest love for Allaah's Messenger sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam and were the foremost in following his Sharee'ah (Prescribed Laws).
Wa sharrul Umoori Muhdathaa-tuhaa, Wa kulla Bid’atin dhalaalah, wa kulla dhalaalatin fin-naar: "Every innovation (in religious faith and practice) is a (form of) misguidance and every misguidance leads to the Hellfire."
