(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
يَزِيدُ ، أَنْبَأَنَا
إِسْرَائِيلُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى الثَّعْلَبِيِّ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ مَعَ
عُمَرَ ، فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ الْهِلَالَ ، هِلَالَ شَوَّالٍ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، أَفْطِرُوا ، ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى عُسٍّ فِيهِ مَاءٌ ، فَتَوَضَّأَ ، وَمَسَحَ عَلَى خُفَّيْهِ ، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ : وَاللَّهِ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا أَتَيْتُكَ إِلَّا لِأَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ هَذَا ، أَفَرَأَيْتَ غَيْرَكَ فَعَلَهُ ؟ فَقَالَ : نَعَمْ ، خَيْرًا مِنِّي ، وَخَيْرَ الْأُمَّةِ ، رَأَيْتُ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ الَّذِي فَعَلْتُ ، وَعَلَيْهِ جُبَّةٌ شَامِيَّةٌ ضَيِّقَةُ الْكُمَّيْنِ ، فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْجُبَّةِ " ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى عُمَرُ الْمَغْرِبَ " .
Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila says that I was once with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), when a man came and said, "I have seen the crescent of Shawwal." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "People! Break your fast." Then he himself stood up, performed ablution from a vessel in which there was water, and wiped over his leather socks. That man said, "By Allah, O Commander of the Faithful! I came to you just to ask whether you have seen anyone else wiping over leather socks?" He replied, "Yes! The one who was better than me. I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) doing so. At that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was wearing a Syrian cloak with tight sleeves, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) inserted his hands under the cloak." After saying this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) went to lead the Maghrib prayer.
