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 .

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.
