Chapter: When The Crescent Is Sighted In A Land A Night Before It Is Sighted In Other Lands.
Hadith 2332
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَعْفَرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَرْمَلَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنِي كُرَيْبٌ ، " أَنَّ أُمَّ الْفَضْلِ ابْنَةَ الْحَارِثِ ، بَعَثَتْهُ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ بِالشَّامِ ، قَالَ : فَقَدِمْتُ الشَّامَ فَقَضَيْتُ حَاجَتَهَا ، فَاسْتَهَلَّ رَمَضَانُ وَأَنَا بِالشَّامِ ، فَرَأَيْنَا الْهِلَالَ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ ، ثُمَّ قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فِي آخِرِ الشَّهْرَ ، فَسَأَلَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْهِلَالَ ، فَقَالَ : مَتَى رَأَيْتُمُ الْهِلَالَ ؟ قُلْتُ : رَأَيْتُهُ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ ، قَالَ : أَنْتَ رَأَيْتَهُ ؟ قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، وَصَامُوا وَصَامَ مُعَاوِيَةُ وَرَآهُ النَّاسُ ، قَالَ : لَكِنَّا رَأَيْنَاهُ لَيْلَةَ السَّبْتِ ، فَلَا نَزَالُ نَصُومُهُ حَتَّى نُكْمِلَ الثَّلَاثِينَ أَوْ نَرَاهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَفَلَا تَكْتَفِي بِرُؤْيَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَصِيَامِهِ ؟ قَالَ : لَا ، هَكَذَا أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
Narrated Kuraib: That Umm al-Fadl, daughter of al-Harith, sent him to Mu'aqiyah in Syria. He said: I came to syria and performed her work. The moon of Ramadan appeared while I was in Syria. We sighted the moon on the night of Friday. When I came to Median towards the end of the month (of Ramadan), Ibn Abbas asked me about the moon. He said: When did you sight the moon ? I said: I sighted it on the night of Friday. He asked: Did you sight it yourself ? I said: Yes, and the people sighted it. They fasted and Muawiyah also fasted. He said: But we sighted it on the night of saturday. Since then we have been fasting until we complete thirty days or we sight it. Then I said: Are the sighting of the moon by Muawiyah and his fasts not sufficient for us? He replied: No. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to do so.
