Hadith 3688
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْهِلَالَ فَصُومُوا، وَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَأَفْطِرُوا، فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَصُومُوا ثَلَاثِينَ يَوْمًا))
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Begin fasting upon sighting the moon and stop fasting upon sighting the moon, and if the moon is not visible, then complete thirty days of fasting.
Hadith 3689
وَعَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: ((فَعُدُّوا ثَلَاثِينَ يَوْمًا))
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrated a hadith from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) similar to the previous hadith, except that it contains these words: If the moon is not sighted, then count thirty days.
Hadith 3690
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((لَا تَقَدَّمُوا الشَّهْرَ بِيَوْمٍ وَلَا يَوْمَيْنِ، إِلَّا أَنْ يُوَافِقَ أَحَدُكُمْ صَوْمًا كَانَ يَصُومُهُ، صُومُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَأَفْطِرُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ، فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَتِمُّوا ثَلَاثِينَ يَوْمًا، ثُمَّ أَفْطِرُوا))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Do not fast one or two days before the month of Ramadan, except if there is a day on which one of you habitually fasts, then he may fast on that day. Begin fasting upon sighting the moon and stop fasting upon sighting the moon. If the sky is cloudy, then complete thirty days before stopping the fast.
