مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ:
كَانَ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ فَرْقَدٍ غَائِبًا بِالسَّوَادِ فَأَبْصَرُوا الْهِلَالَ مِنْ آخِرِ النَّهَارِ فَأَفْطَرُوا فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ: إِنَّ الْهِلَالَ إِذَا رُئِيَ [١]مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ فَإِنَّهُ لِلْيَوْمِ الْمَاضِي، فَأَفْطِرُوا، وَإِذَا رُئِيَ [٢]مِنْ آخِرِ النَّهَارِ فَإِنَّهُ لِلْيَوْمِ الْجَائِي [٣]فَأَتِمُّوا الصَّوْمَ [٤]

'Utbah ibn Farqad was absent in al-Sawad, and they saw the crescent at the end of the day and broke their fast. This reached 'Umar, and he wrote to him: "If the crescent is seen at the beginning of the day, then it belongs to the past day, so break your fast. And if it is seen at the end of the day, then it belongs to the coming day, so complete the fast."
