( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو بَكْرٍ: مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ فُورَكَ، أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، ثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْبَخْتَرِيِّ، قَالَ:
أَهْلَلْنَا رَمَضَانَ وَنَحْنُ بِذَاتِ عِرْقٍ، فَأَرْسَلْنَا رَجُلًا إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْأَلُهُ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - ﷺ: إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ مَدَّهُ لِرُؤْيَتِهِ، فَإِنْ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ

We sighted the crescent of Ramadan while we were at Dhāt ʿIrq, so we sent a man to Ibn ʿAbbās to ask him. Ibn ʿAbbās said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, Allah has extended it for its sighting, so if it is overcast for you, then complete the count."
