وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو نَصْرٍ: عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ: مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْقُهُسْتَانِيُّ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، أَنْبَأَ حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، قَالَ:

كَتَبَ إِلَيْنَا عُمَرُ ؓ وَنَحْنُ بِخَانِقِينَ: إِنَّ الْأَهِلَّةَ بَعْضُهَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْهِلَالَ أَوَّلَ النَّهَارِ فَلَا تُفْطِرُوا حَتَّى يَشْهَدَ شَاهِدَانِ ذَوَا عَدْلٍ أَنَّهُمَا رَأَيَاهُ بِالْأَمْسِ

ʿUmar (may God be pleased with him) wrote to us while we were at Khāniqīn: "Some crescents are greater than others. So if you see the crescent at the beginning of the day, do not break the fast until two upright witnesses testify that they saw it the previous evening."

  • Dāraquṭnī

    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).
