عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ قَالَ: أَهْلَلْنَا هِلَالَ رَمَضَانَ وَنَحْنُ بِذَاتِ عِرْقٍ، قَالَ: فَأَرْسَلْنَا رَجُلًا إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْأَلُهُ فَسَأَلَهُ قَالَ هَاشِمٌ: فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ مَدَّ رُؤْيَتَهُ، قَالَ: هَاشِمٌ لِرُؤْيَتِهِ، فَإِنْ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ))
Abu Bakhtari says: We saw the crescent of Ramadan at the place of Dhat 'Irq, then we sent a man to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) to ask him about it. When he asked: Hashim says, then Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has prolonged its sighting, if there are clouds then complete the counting (of Sha'ban).
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The meaning of the first sentence of this hadith is that Allah Ta‘ala has extended the duration of Sha‘ban until the sighting of the crescent of Ramadan, that is, if for any reason the crescent is not sighted on the 29th of Sha‘ban, then the next day should be considered as the 30th of the same month.
