Chapter 14 · Fasting (Kitab Al-Siyam)إِذَا رُؤِيَ الْهِلاَلُ فِي بَلَدٍ قَبْلَ الآخَرِينَ بِلَيْلَةٍ
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَعْفَرٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَرْمَلَةَ، أَخْبَرَنِي كُرَيْبٌ، أَنَّ أُمَّ الْفَضْلِ ابْنَةَ الْحَارِثِ، بَعَثَتْهُ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ بِالشَّامِ، قَالَ: فَقَدِمْتُ الشَّامَ فَقَضَيْتُ حَاجَتَهَا، فَاسْتَهَلَّ رَمَضَانُ وَأَنَا بِالشَّامِ، فَرَأَيْنَا الْهِلَالَ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ، ثُمَّ قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فِي آخِرِ الشَّهْرَ، فَسَأَلَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْهِلَالَ، فَقَالَ: مَتَى رَأَيْتُمُ الْهِلَالَ ؟ قُلْتُ: رَأَيْتُهُ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ، قَالَ: أَنْتَ رَأَيْتَهُ ؟ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، وَصَامُوا وَصَامَ مُعَاوِيَةُ وَرَآهُ النَّاسُ، قَالَ: لَكِنَّا رَأَيْنَاهُ لَيْلَةَ السَّبْتِ، فَلَا نَزَالُ نَصُومُهُ حَتَّى نُكْمِلَ الثَّلَاثِينَ أَوْ نَرَاهُ، فَقُلْتُ: أَفَلَا تَكْتَفِي بِرُؤْيَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَصِيَامِهِ ؟ قَالَ: لَا، هَكَذَا أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .

When The Crescent Is Sighted In A Land A Night Before It Is Sighted In Other Lands
That Umm al-Fadl, daughter of al-Harith, sent him to Mu'awiyah رضی اللہ عنہ in Syria. He said: I came to syria and performed her work. The moon of Ramadan appeared while I was in Syria. We sighted the moon on the night of Friday. When I came to Median towards the end of the month (of Ramadan), Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما asked me about the moon. He said: When did you sight the moon ? I said: I sighted it on the night of Friday. He asked: Did you sight it yourself ? I said: Yes, and the people sighted it. They fasted and Muawiyah also fasted. He said: But we sighted it on the night of saturday. Since then we have been fasting until we complete thirty days or we sight it. Then I said: Are the sighting of the moon by Muawiyah and his fasts not sufficient for us? He replied: No. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم commanded us to do so.
