وَهَذَا اللَّفْظُ قَدْ رَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ، أَنْبَأَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي يُوسُفُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، ثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ( ح ) قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ صَخْرٍ، ثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، ( ح ): قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبُو أُمَيَّةَ، وَالْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْجُنَيْدِ، قَالُوا: ثَنَا رَوْحٌ، قَالُوا: ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، قَالَ:
أَتَانَا كِتَابُ عُمَرَ بِخَانِقِينَ أَنَّ الْأَهِلَّةَ بَعْضُهَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْهِلَالَ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ فَلَا تُفْطِرُوا حَتَّى يَشْهَدَ شَاهِدَانِ أَنَّهُمَا رَأَيَاهُ بِالْأَمْسِ

The letter of ʿUmar reached us at Khānaqīn, saying that the crescents are some of them larger than others, so if you see the crescent at the beginning of the day, do not break the fast until two witnesses testify that they saw it the evening before.

قال محمد بن علي قلت لأبي نعيم سمع ابن أبي ليلى من عمر قال لا أدري قال محمد بن علي قلت ليحيى بن معين سمع ابن أبي ليلى من عمر فلم يثبت ذلك عبد الأعلى هو ابن عامر الثعلبي غيره أثبت منه وحديث أبي وائل أصح إسنادا عن عمر منه رواه الأعمش ومنصور عن أبي وائل
machine translationMuḥammad b. ʿAlī said: I asked Abū Nuʿaym, "Did Ibn Abī Laylā hear from ʿUmar?" He said, "I do not know." Muḥammad b. ʿAlī said: I asked Yaḥyā b. Maʿīn, "Did Ibn Abī Laylā hear from ʿUmar?" He did not confirm that. ʿAbd al-Aʿlā, who is Ibn ʿĀmir al-Thaʿlabī, others are more reliable (athbat) than him, and the ḥadīth of Abū Wāʾil from ʿUmar is sounder (aṣaḥḥ) in its chain than his. It was narrated by al-Aʿmash and Manṣūr from Abū Wāʾil.

حديث أبي وائل أصح من حديث النخعي لأنه متصل وحديث النخعي منقطع
machine translationThe hadith of Abū Wāʾil is more authentic (aṣaḥḥ) than the hadith of al-Nakhaʿī, because it is connected (muttaṣil), while the hadith of al-Nakhaʿī is broken (munqaṭiʿ).
