أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ: عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بِشْرَانَ الْعَدْلُ بِبَغْدَادَ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ: مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْبَخْتَرِيِّ، ثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ، ثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، ثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، ثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ؛ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ حُنَيْنٍ أَخْبَرَهُ؛ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ:
إِنِّي لَأَعْجَبُ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ يَصُومُونَ قَبْلَ رَمَضَانَ، إِنَّمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - ﷺ: إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْهِلَالَ فَصُومُوا، وَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَأَفْطِرُوا، فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَعُدُّوا ثَلَاثِينَ
