إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُهَاجِرٍ:
أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ سُوَيْدٍ الْفِهْرِيَّ أَفْطَرَ أَوْ ضَحَّى قَبْلَ النَّاسِ بِيَوْمٍ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ: مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى أَنْ أَفْطَرْتَ قَبْلَ النَّاسِ ؟ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ مُحَمَّدٌ: إِنَّهُ شَهِدَ عِنْدِي حِزَامُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ الْقُرَشِيُّ أَنَّهُ رَأَى الْهِلَالَ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ: أَوَأحد [١]النَّاسِ ؟ أَوَذُو [٢]الْيَدَيْنِ هُوَ ؟

That Muhammad ibn Suwayd al-Fihri broke his fast, or sacrificed, a day before the people. 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz wrote to him: "What led you to break the fast before the people?" Muhammad wrote back to him: "Hizam ibn Hakim al-Qurashi testified before me that he saw the crescent." 'Umar wrote to him: "Was he one of the people? Or is he Dhu al-Yadayn?"
