حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنٌ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ قَالَ:
خَرَجْنَا لِلْعُمْرَةِ فَلَمَّا نَزَلْنَا بِبَطْنِ نَخْلَةَ رَأَيْنَا الْهِلَالَ؛ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ: هُوَ ابْنُ ثَلَاثٍ، وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: وَهُوَ ابْنُ لَيْلَتَيْنِ، قَالَ: فَلَقِينَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، فَقُلْنَا: رَأَيْنَا الْهِلَالَ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ: هُوَ ابْنُ ثَلَاثٍ. وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: هُوَ ابْنُ لَيْلَتَيْنِ. فَقَالَ: أَيُّ لَيْلَةٍ رَأَيْتُمُوهُ ؟ قُلْنَا: لَيْلَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا. فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ مَدَّهُ لِرُؤْيَتِهِ فَهُوَ لِلَّيْلَةِ رَأَيْتُمُوهُ

✧ We went out for 'umrah, and when we stopped at Batn Nakhla we saw the crescent. Some of the people said, "It is three nights old." Others said, "It is two nights old." He said: Then we met Ibn 'Abbas and said, "We saw the crescent, and some of the people said it was three nights old, and others said it was two nights old." He asked, "On which night did you see it?" We said, "On such-and-such night." He said, "The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'God extends it for its sighting, so it is for the night on which you see it.'"
