وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ:
أَتَانَا كِتَابُ عُمَرَ وَنَحْنُ بِخَانِقِينَ: إِنَّ الْأَهِلَّةَ بَعْضُهَا أَكْبَرُ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْهِلَالَ نَهَارًا فَلَا تُفْطِرُوا حَتَّى يَشْهَدَ رَجُلَانِ مُسْلِمَانِ أَنَّهُمَا أَهَلَّاهُ بِالْأَمْسِ

The letter of 'Umar reached us while we were at Khanaqin: "Indeed the crescent moons vary in size, some larger than others. So if you see the crescent during the day, do not break your fast until two upright Muslim men testify that they sighted it yesterday."
