حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُمَيْرِ بْنِ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُمُومَتِي مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالُوا
أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْنَا هِلاَلُ شَوَّالٍ فَأَصْبَحْنَا صِيَامًا فَجَاءَ رَكْبٌ مِنْ آخِرِ النَّهَارِ فَشَهِدُوا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُمْ رَأَوُا الْهِلاَلَ بِالأَمْسِ فَأَمَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُفْطِرُوا وَأَنْ يَخْرُجُوا إِلَى عِيدِهِمْ مِنَ الْغَدِ

“My paternal uncles among the Ansar who were among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ told me: ‘The new crescent of Shawwal was covered with clouds, so we fasted the next day. Then some riders came at the end of the day and testified to the Prophet ﷺ that they had seen the new crescent the night before. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded them to break their fast and to go out to offer the ‘Eid prayer the following morning.’”

أبو عمير بن أنس فيقال إنه ابن أنس بن مالك واسمه عبد الله ولم يرو عنه غير أبي بشر ومن كان هكذا فهو مجهول لا يحتج به
machine translationAs for Abū ʿUmayr b. Anas, it is said that he is the son of Anas b. Mālik, and his name is ʿAbdullāh. No one narrated from him except Abū Bishr, and whoever is like this is unknown (majhūl) and cannot be used as proof.

وخالفه أصحاب شعبة رووه عن شعبة عن أبي بشر عن أبي عمير بن أنس عن عمومة له عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وكذلك رواه أبو عوانة وهشيم عن أبي بشر وهو الصواب
machine translationThe companions of Shuʿbah contradicted him: they narrated it from Shuʿbah, from Abū Bishr, from Abū ʿUmayr b. Anas, from some of his paternal uncles, from the Prophet ﷺ. Abū ʿAwānah and Hushaym also narrated it in this way from Abū Bishr, and this is the correct version.
