مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ ، أَنَّ
زَيْدَ بْنَ حُباب أَخْبَرَهُمْ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هِلَالٍ ، عَنْ
قَتَادَةَ ، " أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا رَأَى الْهِلَالَ صَرَفَ وَجْهَهُ عَنْهُ " , قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ : لَيْسَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي هَذَا الْباب حَدِيثٌ مُسْنَدٌ صَحِيحٌ .
