Chapter 15 · The Book of Fastingحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، رَجُلًا يَقُولُ: اللَّيْلَةَ لَيْلَةُ النِّصْفِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: مَا يُدْرِيكَ أَنَّ اللَّيْلَةَ النِّصْفُ؟ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «الشَّهْرُ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا، - وَأَشَارَ بِأَصَابِعِهِ الْعَشْرِ مَرَّتَيْنِ - وَهَكَذَا - فِي الثَّالِثَةِ وَأَشَارَ بِأَصَابِعِهِ كُلِّهَا وَحَبَسَ أَوْ خَنَسَ إِبْهَامَهُ -».

Ibn 'Umar رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ heard a person saying: This night is the midnight (of the month). Upon this he رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ said to him: How do you know that it is the midnight (of the month), for I heard the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: The month is thus and thus (and he pointed with his ten fingers twice) and thus (i. e. at the third time he pointed with all his fingers but withdrew or folded his thumb)?
