"عَنْ كُرَيْب أَنَّ أُمَّ الْفَضْلِ بِنْتَ الْحَارِثِ بَعَثَتهُ إِلَى مُعَاويَة بالشَّام قَالَ: فَاسْتَهَلَّ عَلىَّ هِلالُ رَمَضَانَ وَأَنَا بِالشَّامِ، فَرَأَيْتُ الْهلالَ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَة، وَرآهُ النَّاسُ، وَصَامُوا وَصَامَ مُعاويَةُ، فَقَدمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ في آخِرِ الشَّهْرِ فَسَأَلَنِى عَبْدُ الله بْن عَبَّاسٍ: مَتَى رَأَيْت الْهلالَ؟ قُلْتُ: لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ، قَالَ: لَكِنَّا رَأَيْنَاهُ لَيْلَةَ السَّبْت، فَلا يَزَالُ يُكَمِّلُ ثَلاثِينَ أَوْ نَرَاهُ، فَقُلتُ: أَلا تَكْتَفِى بِرُؤْيَةِ معَاوِيَةَ وَصِيَامِهِ فَقَالَ: لا، هَكَذَا أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ".

"Kurayb reported that Umm al-Fadl bint al-Harith sent him to Mu'awiyah in Syria. He said: The crescent of Ramadan appeared to us while I was in Syria. I saw the crescent on Friday night, and the people saw it and fasted, and Mu'awiyah fasted. I came to Medina at the end of the month, and Abdullah ibn Abbas asked me: When did you see the crescent? I said: On Friday night. He said: But we saw it on Saturday night, so we will continue to complete thirty days or until we see it. I said: Are you not satisfied with the sighting of Mu'awiyah and his fasting? He said: No, this is how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us."
