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).
