وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، ثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَنْبَأَ إِسْرَائِيلُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى الثَّعْلَبِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، قَالَ:
كُنْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ ؓ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: رَأَيْتُ الْهِلَالَ - هِلَالَ شَوَّالٍ - فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَفْطِرُوا

I was with ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with him) when a man came to him and said: "I saw the crescent – the crescent of Shawwāl." So ʿUmar said: "O people, break your fast."

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.

فيه عبد الأعلى الثعلبي قال النسائي ليس بالقوي ويكتب حديثه وضعفه الأئمة
machine translationIn it is ʿAbd al-Aʿlā al-Thaʿlabī. Al-Nasāʾī said: he is not strong (laysa bi-l-qawī), and his hadith is written down; and the imams graded him weak (ḍaʿḍafūhu).
