Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38936 — The expiation for the fast: Abu

Abu Umayr bin Anas states: My paternal uncles from the Ansar, who were among the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (may Allah be pleased with them), told me: The new moon of Shawwal was hidden from us (because of clouds and the like), and we began the morning fasting. At the end of the day a group of riders came and, presenting themselves before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), testified that they had seen the moon the day before. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the people to break their fast and ordered them to go out for Eid the next day. It is mentioned that the view of (Imam) Abu Hanifah is: The people are not to go out for Eid on the next day.
