Hadith 2338
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ أَبُو يَحْيَى الْبَزَّازُ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْجَدَلِيُّ مِنْ جَدِيلَةَ قَيْسٍ ، " أَنَّ أَمِيرَ مَكَّةَ خَطَبَ ، ثُمّ قَالَ : عَهِدَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَنْسُكَ لِلرُّؤْيَةِ ، فَإِنْ لَمْ نَرَهُ وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدَا عَدْلٍ ، نَسَكْنَا بِشَهَادَتِهِمَا ، فَسَأَلْتُ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ : مَنْ أَمِيرُ مَكَّةَ ؟ قَالَ : لَا أَدْرِي ، ثُمَّ لَقِيَنِي بَعْدُ ، فَقَالَ : هُوَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ حَاطِبٍ أَخُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَاطِبٍ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ الْأَمِيرُ : إِنَّ فِيكُمْ مَنْ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ مِنِّي ، وَشَهِدَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى رَجُلٍ ، قَالَ الْحُسَيْنُ : فَقُلْتُ لِشَيْخٍ إِلَى جَنْبِي : مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي أَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ الْأَمِيرُ ؟ قَالَ : هَذَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، وَصَدَقَ كَانَ أَعْلَمَ بِاللَّهِ مِنْهُ ، فَقَالَ : بِذَلِكَ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: Husayn ibn al-Harith al-Jadli from the tribe of Jadilah Qays said: The governor of Makkah delivered a speech and said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took a pledge from us that we should perform the rites of hajj after sighting the moon. If we do not sight it and two reliable persons bear witness, we should perform the rites of hajj on the basis of their witness. I then asked al-Husayn ibn al-Harith: Who was the governor of Makkah? He replied: I do not know. He then met me later on and told me: He was al-Harith ibn Hatib, brother of Muhammad ibn Hatib. The governor then said: There is among you a man who is more acquainted with Allah and His Messenger than I. He witnessed this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He then pointed with his hand to a man. Al-Husayn said: I asked an old man beside me: Who is that man to whom the governor has alluded? He said: "This is Abdullah ibn Umar, and he spoke the truth. He was more acquainted with Allah than he. He (Abdullah ibn Umar) said: For this is what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us (to do).
Hadith 2339
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، وَخَلَفُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ الْمُقْرِئُ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " اخْتَلَفَ النَّاسُ فِي آخِرِ يَوْمٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ ، فَقَدِمَ أَعْرَابِيَّانِ فَشَهِدَا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِاللَّهِ لَأَهَلَّا الْهِلَالَ أَمْسِ عَشِيَّةً ، فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يُفْطِرُوا " . زَادَ خَلَفٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ : " وَأَنْ يَغْدُوا إِلَى مُصَلَّاهُمْ " .
Narrated Ribi bin Hirash: On the authority of a man from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ: People differed among themselves on the last day of Ramadan (about the appearance of the moon of Shawwal). Then two bedouins came and witnessed before the Prophet ﷺ swearing by Allah that they had sighted moon the previous evening. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded the people to break the fast. The narrator Khalaf has added in his version: "and that they should proceed to the place of prayer (forEid)".
