Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Salih Dahan narrates that once, on the last day of Ramadan at noon, the moon was sighted. Upon seeing the moon, people became engaged in eating and drinking. At that time, a group from Azd was sitting in i'tikaf. They said, "O Salih! Go as our messenger to Jabir bin Zaid." I went to him and mentioned the whole matter. He asked, "Did you also see the moon?" I replied, "Yes." He asked, "Did you see it in front of the sun or behind the sun?" I said, "I saw it in front of the sun." Hazrat Jabir bin Zaid said, "Your today is a day of Ramadan; you have seen the moon in its orbit. Instruct your companions to complete their fast and i'tikaf."
