Chapter 14 · Fasting (Kitab Al-Siyam)حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ الزُّبَيْدِيُّ مِنْ كِتَابِهِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَزْهَرِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ فَرْوَةَ، قَالَ: قَامَ مُعَاوِيَةُ فِي النَّاسِ بِدَيْرِ مِسْحَلٍ الَّذِي عَلَى بَابِ حِمْصَ، فَقَالَ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّا قَدْ رَأَيْنَا الْهِلَالَ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَأَنَا مُتَقَدِّمٌ بِالصِّيَامِ، فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَفْعَلَهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْهُ، قَالَ: فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ مَالِكُ بْنُ هُبَيْرَةَ السَّبَئِيُّ، فَقَالَ: يَا مُعَاوِيَةُ، أَشَيْءٌ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ أَمْ شَيْءٌ مِنْ رَأْيِكَ ؟ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: صُومُوا الشَّهْرَ وَسِرَّهُ .

Muawiyah رضی اللہ عنہ stood among the people at Dayr Mustahill lying at the gate of Hims. He said: O people, we sighted the moon on such-and-such day. We shall fast in advance. Anyone who likes to do so may do it. Malik ibn Hubayrah as-Saba'i stood up and asked: Muawiyah, did you hear the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say something (about this matter), or is this something on the basis of your opinion? He replied: I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: Fast the ( beginning of the) Ramadan and Sirrahu (its end).
