حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ وَجَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُرْشِدٍ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَرَفَةَ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
إِنَّمَا الشَّهْرُ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ فَلَا تَصُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْهُ وَلَا تُفْطِرُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْهُ فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْدُرُوا لَهُ زَادَ ابْنُ مُرْشِدٍ وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِذَا مَضَى شَعْبَانُ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ يَبْعَثُ مِنْ يَنْظُرُ فَإِنْ رَأَى فَذَاكَ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَرَ وَلَمْ يَحُلْ دُونَ مَنْظَرِهِ سَحَابٌ وَلَا قَتَرٌ أَصْبَحَ مُفْطِرًا وَإِنْ حَالَ دُونَ مَنْظَرِهِ سَحَابٌ أَوْ قَتَرٌ أَصْبَحَ صَائِمًا قَالَ وَكَانَ لَا يُفْطِرُ إِلَّا مَعَ النَّاسِ

The month is only twenty-nine days, so do not fast until you see it, and do not break the fast until you see it; and if it is overcast for you, then estimate it. Ibn Murshid added: When twenty-nine days of Shaʿbān had passed, Ibn ʿUmar would send someone to look. If he saw it, then that was it. If he did not see it, and no cloud or dust obstructed his view, he would begin the morning not fasting. And if a cloud or dust obstructed his view, he would begin the morning fasting. He said: And he would not break the fast except with the people.
