Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 9728 — The new moon sighted when some people

Ibn Jurayj says: I said to Ata: If some people of Makkah begin the morning not fasting, or one or two men begin the morning not fasting, and then after a while someone comes and says that the moon was seen last night, and this news reaches them in the early or the latter part of the day, should they fast the rest of the day or make up that fast later? He said: If they wish, they may go on eating and drinking; fasting the rest of the day is not obligatory upon them.
