Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Hussain bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I asked Hazrat Ibn Jurayj (about the new moon), so he narrated from Hazrat Ata: Indeed, a man saw the new moon in a barren land. He stated that I heard someone saying these words: O Allah! Bring forth this moon upon us with safety and faith, and with peace and Islam, and with guidance and forgiveness, and with the ability to do every deed that pleases You, and with protection from every deed that displeases You. O moon, your Lord and mine is Allah. That man says: He kept reciting these words until I memorized them, and I did not see anyone else there.
