لِقَوْلِ اللهِ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ {وَاذْكُرُوا اللهَ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَعْدُودَاتٍ} [البقرة: 203] فَعَمَّ وَلَمْ يَخُصَّ وَقَالَ: {فَإِذَا قَضَيْتُمْ مَنَاسِكَكُمْ فَاذْكُرُوا ⦗442⦘ اللهَ كَذِكْرِكُمْ آبَاءَكُمْ أَوْ أَشَدَّ ذِكْرًا} [البقرة: 200].
Because of this saying of Allah, exalted be His praise: "And remember Allah during a few numbered days." [Surah al-Baqarah: 203]
So Allah Almighty kept it general and did not restrict it, and He said: "Then when you have completed your rites of Hajj, remember Allah as you remember your forefathers, or with even greater remembrance." [Surah al-Baqarah: 200]

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ كَامِلُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْمُسْتَمْلِي، أنبأ أَبُو سَهْلٍ بِشْرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ، ثنا دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أنبأ هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عُمَيْرِ بْنُ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ أَكْبَرَ وَلَدِهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُمُومَةٌ لِي مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْنَا هِلَالُ شَوَّالٍ، فَأَصْبَحْنَا صِيَامًا، فَجَاءَ رَكْبٌ مِنْ آخِرِ النَّهَارِ فَشَهِدُوا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُمْ رَأَوَا الْهِلَالَ بِالْأَمْسِ، فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يُفْطِرُوا مَنْ يَوْمِهِمْ، وَأَنْ يَخْرُجُوا لِعِيدِهِمْ مِنَ الْغَدِ ". هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ صَحِيحٌ، وَبِمَعْنَاهُ رَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَبِي وَحْشِيَّةَ، وَعُمُومَةِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَكُونُونَ إِلَّا ثِقَاتٍ، وَقَدْ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: " لَوْ ثَبَتَ ذَلِكَ قُلْنَا بِهِ، وَقُلْنَا أَيْضًا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَخْرُجْ بِهِمْ مِنَ الْغَدِ خَرَجَ بِهِمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ الْغَدِ، وَقُلْنَا يُصَلِّي فِي ⦗٤٤٣⦘ يَوْمِهِ بَعْدَ الزَّوَالِ ". وَذَلِكَ فِيمَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ، عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ، عَنِ الشَّافِعِيِّ.
Abu Umayr, son of Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), who was his eldest son, says: My paternal uncles from the Ansar, who were Companions of the Messenger (may Allah be pleased with them), said: The crescent of Shawwal was hidden from us, so in the morning we kept the fast. A caravan came at the end of the day, and they testified that they had seen the crescent the previous evening. He (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the Companions to break the fast and said: "Go out for the Eid tomorrow morning."
This chain is sahih (authentic); the uncles of Abu Umayr from among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) can only be trustworthy.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) says: If this is established, that is right; if they do not go out for the Eid the next day, they may go out the day after, or else offer the Eid prayer on that same day after the sun passes its zenith.
