وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ:
كُنَّا بِخَانِقِينَ، فَأَهْلَلْنَا هِلَالَ رَمَضَانَ فَمِنَّا مَنْ صَامَ وَمِنَّا مَنْ أَفْطَرَ، فَأَتَانَا كِتَابُ عُمَرَ: أَنَّ [١]الْأَهِلَّةَ بَعْضُهَا أَكْبَرُ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْهِلَالَ نَهَارًا فَلَا تُفْطِرُوا إِلَّا أَنْ يَشْهَدَ رَجُلَانِ مُسْلِمَانِ أَنَّهُمَا أَهَلَّاهُ بِالْأَمْسِ

We were at Khanaqin, and we sighted the crescent of Ramadan. Some of us fasted and some of us broke the fast. Then the letter of 'Umar reached us: "Indeed the crescent moons vary in size, so if you see the crescent during the day, do not break your fast unless two Muslim men testify that they sighted it yesterday."
