Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 9275 — Those who disliked preceding Ramadan
٩٢٧٥ - حدثنا ابن فضيل عن حصين عن عمرو بن مرة عن أبي البختري قال: خرجنا للعمرة فلما نزلنا ببطن نخلة قال: (تراءينا) (١) الهلال، قال بعض القوم: هو ⦗٥٠٢⦘ ابن ثلاث، وقال بعض القوم: هو ابن ليلتين، [فلقينا ابن عباس فقلنا: إنا رأينا الهلال، فقال بعض القوم: هو ابن ثلاث، وقال: بعض القوم: هو ابن ليلتين] (٢)، فقال: أي ليلة رأيتموه؟ قال: فقلنا: ليلة كذا وكذا، فقال: إن رسول اللَّه ﷺ قال: "إن اللَّه مده للرؤية فهو لليلة رأيتموه" (٣).
Abu al-Bakhtari said: We set out for Umrah. When we reached the place called Batn Nakhlah, we said that we had seen the moon. Some people said it was the moon of the third night, and some said it was the moon of the second night. Then we met Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and said: We have seen the moon; some people say it is the moon of the third night and some say it is the moon of the second night. He said: When did you see this moon? We said: On such-and-such a night. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has extended the moon for sighting; the moon's night is the night on which you see it.
