أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَا تَقَدَّمُوا الشَّهْرَ حَتَّى تَرَوْا الْهِلَالَ قَبْلَهُ ، أَوْ تُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ ، ثُمَّ صُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْا الْهِلَالَ ، أَوْ تُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ قَبْلَهُ " .
