Chapter: Regarding The Testimony Of A Single Person About Seeing The Crescent Of Ramadan.
Hadith 2341
حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، " أَنَّهُمْ شَكُّوا فِي هِلَالِ رَمَضَانَ مَرَّةً ، فَأَرَادُوا أَنْ لَا يَقُومُوا وَلَا يَصُومُوا ، فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ مِنْ الْحَرَّةِ ، فَشَهِدَ أَنَّهُ رَأَى الْهِلَالَ ، فَأُتِيَ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : أَتَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، وَشَهِدَ أَنَّهُ رَأَى الْهِلَالَ ، فَأَمَرَ بِلَالًا ، فَنَادَى فِي النَّاسِ أَنْ يَقُومُوا وَأَنْ يَصُومُوا " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : رَوَاهُ جَمَاعَةٌ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، مُرْسَلًا . وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ الْقِيَامَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ .
Narrated Ikrimah: Once the people doubted the appearance of the moon of Ramadan, and intended neither to offer the tarawih prayer nor to keep fast. A bedouin came from al-Harrah and testified that he had sighted the moon. He was brought to the Prophet ﷺ. He asked: Do you testify that there is no god but Allah, and that I am the Messenger of Allah? He said: Yes; and he testified that he had sighted the moon. He commanded Bilal who announced to the people to offer the tarawih prayer and to keep fast.
