حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْهَاشِمِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي حَرْمَلَةَ عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ
أَنَّ أُمَّ الْفَضْلِ بِنْتَ الْحَارِثِ بَعَثَتْهُ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ بِالشَّأْمِ قَالَ: فَقَدِمْتُ الشَّأْمَ، فَقَضَيْتُ حَاجَتَهَا، وَاسْتَهَلَّ عَلَيَّ رَمَضَانُ، وَأَنَا بِالشَّأْمِ، فَرَأَيْنَا الْهِلَالَ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ، ثُمَّ قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فِي آخِرِ الشَّهْرِ، فَسَأَلَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْهِلَالَ، فَقَالَ: مَتَى رَأَيْتُمُوهُ ؟ فَقُلْتُ: رَأَيْنَاهُ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ، فَقَالَ: آنْتَ رَأَيْتَهُ ؟ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، وَرَآهُ النَّاسُ، وَصَامُوا، وَصَامَ مُعَاوِيَةُ، فَقَالَ: لَكِنَّا رَأَيْنَاهُ لَيْلَةَ السَّبْتِ، فَلَا نَزَالُ نَصُومُ حَتَّى نُكْمِلَ ثَلَاثِينَ، أَوْ نَرَاهُ، فَقُلْتُ: أَوَلَا تَكْتَفِي بِرُؤْيَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، وَصِيَامِهِ، فَقَالَ: لَا، هَكَذَا أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ

✧ Umm al-Fadl bint al-Harith sent him to Muʿawiyah in Syria. He said: I arrived in Syria, fulfilled her need, and Ramadan began while I was in Syria. We saw the crescent on Friday night. Then I came to Madinah at the end of the month. ʿAbdullah b. ʿAbbas asked me, then mentioned the crescent and said: “When did you see it?” I said: “We saw it on Friday night.” He said: “Did you see it?” I said: “Yes, and the people saw it, and they fasted, and Muʿawiyah fasted.” He said: “But we saw it on Saturday night, so we will continue fasting until we complete thirty days or we see it.” I said: “Do you not consider Muʿawiyah's sighting and fasting sufficient?” He said: “No, this is how the Prophet ﷺ commanded.”
