الْحَارِثُ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ، ثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ:
إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ يَزِيدَ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ بِالْمَوْسِمِ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّا قَدْ شَهِدْنَا أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ، وَسَمِعْنَا عَنْهُمْ، وَحَدَّثُونَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: صُومُوا لِرُؤْيَةِ الْهِلَالِ، وَأَفْطِرُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ، فَإِنْ خَفِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ ثَلَاثِينَ يَوْمًا، وَإِنْ شَهِدَ ذَوَا عَدْلٍ فَصُومُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِمَا، وَأَفْطِرُوا لَهَا، وَأَمْسِكُوا لَهَا

✧ Abd Allah b. Yazid addressed the people at the pilgrimage season and said: 'O people, we have witnessed the Companions of Muhammad ﷺ and heard from them, and they narrated to us that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Fast at the sighting of the new moon, and break your fast at its sighting. If it is obscured from you, then complete the number as thirty days. If two just witnesses testify, then fast at their sighting and break your fast for it, and refrain [from eating] for it.'
