أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي حَرْمَلَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي كُرَيْبٌ
أَنَّ أُمَّ الْفَضْلِ بَعَثَتْهُ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ بِالشَّامِ قَالَ فَقَدِمْتُ الشَّامَ فَقَضَيْتُ حَاجَتَهَا وَاسْتَهَلَّ عَلَيَّ هِلَالُ رَمَضَانَ وَأَنَا بِالشَّامِ فَرَأَيْتُ الْهِلَالَ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ ثُمَّ قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فِي آخِرِ الشَّهْرِ فَسَأَلَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْهِلَالَ فَقَالَ مَتَى رَأَيْتُمْ؟ فَقُلْتُ رَأَيْنَاهُ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ أَنْتَ رَأَيْتَهُ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ وَرَآهُ النَّاسُ فَصَامُوا وَصَامَ مُعَاوِيَةُ قَالَ لَكِنْ رَأَيْنَاهُ لَيْلَةَ السَّبْتِ فَلَا نَزَالُ نَصُومُ حَتَّى نُكْمِلَ ثَلَاثِينَ أَوْ نَرَاهُ فَقُلْتُ أَوَلَا تَكْتَفِي بِرُؤْيَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَأَصْحَابِهِ؟ قَالَ «لَا هَكَذَا أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ»

✧ Umm al-Fadl sent him to Muawiyah in Syria. He said: I arrived in Syria and fulfilled her need, and the crescent of Ramadan appeared to me while I was in Syria. I saw the crescent on the night of Friday, then I arrived in Madinah at the end of the month. Abdullah b. Abbas asked me, then mentioned the crescent and said: “When did you see it?” I said: “We saw it on the night of Friday.” He said: “Did you see it on the night of Friday?” I said: “Yes, and the people saw it and fasted, and Muawiyah fasted.” He said: “But we saw it on the night of Saturday, so we will continue fasting until we complete thirty or we see it.” I said: “Is the sighting of Muawiyah and his companions not sufficient?” He said: “No, this is what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us.”
