حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ السَّعْدِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي حَرْمَلَةَ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ:
أَنَّ أُمَّ الْفَضْلِ بِنْتَ الْحَارِثِ بَعَثَتْهُ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ بِالشَّامِ، قَالَ: فَقَدِمْتُ الشَّامَ فَقَضَيْتُ حَاجَتَهَا، وَاسْتَهَلَّ عَلَيَّ هِلَالُ رَمَضَانَ وَأَنَا بِالشَّامِ، فَرَأَيْنَا الْهِلَالَ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ، وَرَآهُ النَّاسُ وَصَامُوا، وَصَامَ مُعَاوِيَةُ، فَقَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فِي آخِرِ الشَّهْرِ فَسَأَلَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ - ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْهِلَالَ -؛ فَقَالَ: " مَتَى رَأَيْتُمُ الْهِلَالَ ؟ " فَقُلْتُ: رَأَيْنَاهُ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ، فَقَالَ: " أَنْتَ رَأَيْتَهُ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ ؟ " قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ أَنَا رَأَيْتُهُ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ، وَرَآهُ النَّاسُ وَصَامُوا، وَصَامَ مُعَاوِيَةُ. قَالَ: لَكِنَّا رَأَيْنَاهُ لَيْلَةَ السَّبْتِ؛ فَلَا نَزَالُ نَصُومُهُ حَتَّى نُكْمِلَ ثَلَاثِينَ أَوْ نَرَاهُ، فَقُلْتُ: أَوَلَا تَكْتَفِي بِرُؤْيَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَصِيَامِهِ ؟ قَالَ: " لَا ؟ هَكَذَا أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ

✧ Umm al-Fadl bt. al-Harith sent him to Mu'awiyah in Syria. He said: I arrived in Syria, fulfilled her errand, and the crescent of Ramadan was sighted while I was in Syria. We saw the crescent on Friday night, and the people saw it and fasted, and Mu'awiyah fasted. I arrived in Madinah at the end of the month, and 'Abdullah b. 'Abbas asked me — then he mentioned the crescent — saying, "When did you see the crescent?" I said, "We saw it on Friday night." He said, "You yourself saw it on Friday night?" I said, "Yes, I saw it on Friday night, and the people saw it and fasted, and Mu'awiyah fasted." He said, "But we saw it on Saturday night, so we will continue to fast until we complete thirty or we see it." I said, "Is the sighting of Mu'awiyah and his fasting not sufficient for you?" He said, "No. Thus did the Messenger of God command us."
