حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي خَيْثَمَةَ قَالَ: نَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ قَالَ: ثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْأُبُلِّيُّ قَالَ: نَا مِسْعَرُ بْنُ كِدَامٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ قَالَ:
شَهِدْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ وَبِهَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ، وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى وَالِيهَا، وَشَهِدَ عِنْدَهُ عَلَى رُؤْيَةِ هِلَالِ رَمَضَانَ، فَسَأَلَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ شَهَادَتِهِ، فَأَمَرَاهُ أَنْ يُجِيزَهَا، وَقَالَا: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَجَازَ شَهَادَةَ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى رُؤْيَةِ هِلَالِ رَمَضَانَ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يُجِيزُ شَهَادَةً فِي الْإِفْطَارِ إِلَّا شَهَادَةَ رَجُلَيْنِ

✧ I witnessed Madinah while Ibn Umar and Ibn Abbas were there. A man came to its governor and testified before him to sighting the crescent of Ramadan. He asked Ibn Umar and Ibn Abbas about his testimony, and they instructed him to accept it. They said: The Messenger of God ﷺ accepted the testimony of a single man for sighting the crescent of Ramadan, and the Messenger of God ﷺ did not accept any testimony for breaking the fast except the testimony of two men.
