Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 9704 — The new moon seen in the daytime

Abd al-Rahman bin Harmalah says: People saw the new moon after the sun had passed its zenith, and upon that some people broke their fast. I mentioned this to Sa'id bin al-Musayyib and he said: In the time of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) too, people saw the moon during the day and some of them broke their fast. Upon that Sayyiduna Uthman said: "As for me, I will complete my fast until night." He said: Once in the time of Marwan too the moon was seen during the day and some people broke their fast; Marwan threatened those who had broken the fast. Sa'id said: Marwan did the right thing.
