( وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أَنْبَأَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - ﷺ:
لَا تَقَدَّمُوا الشَّهْرَ بِصِيَامِ يَوْمٍ وَلَا يَوْمَيْنِ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ شَيْئًا يَصُومُهُ أَحَدُكُمْ، وَلَا تَصُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْهُ، ثُمَّ صُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْهُ، فَإِنْ حَالَ دُونَهُ غَمَامَةٌ فَأَتِمُّوا الْعِدَّةَ ثَلَاثِينَ، ثُمَّ أَفْطِرُوا. الشَّهْرُ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ

Do not precede the month by fasting a day or two days, unless it is something one of you habitually fasts. And do not fast until you see it (the crescent), then fast until you see it. If clouds come between you and it, complete the count of thirty days, then break the fast. The month is twenty-nine days.
