حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ أَبُو يَحْيَى الْبَزَّازُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْجَدَلِيُّ مِنْ جَدِيلَةَ قَيْسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ أَمِيرَ مَكَّةَ خَطَبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ عَهِدَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَنْسُكَ لِلرُّؤْيَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنْ لَمْ نَرَهُ وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدَا عَدْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏نَسَكْنَا بِشَهَادَتِهِمَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَسَأَلْتُ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ أَمِيرُ مَكَّةَ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا أَدْرِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ لَقِيَنِي بَعْدُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هُوَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ حَاطِبٍ أَخُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَاطِبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ الْأَمِيرُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ فِيكُمْ مَنْ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ مِنِّي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَشَهِدَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى رَجُلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ الْحُسَيْنُ:‏‏‏‏ فَقُلْتُ لِشَيْخٍ إِلَى جَنْبِي:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي أَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ الْأَمِيرُ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَصَدَقَ كَانَ أَعْلَمَ بِاللَّهِ مِنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بِذَلِكَ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .

Husayn Ibn al-Harith al-Jadli from the tribe of Jadilah Qays said: The governor of Makkah delivered a speech and said: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم took a pledge from us that we should perform the rites of hajj after sighting the moon. If we do not sight it and two reliable persons bear witness, we should perform the rites of hajj on the basis of their witness. I then asked al-Husayn ibn al-Harith: Who was the governor of Makkah? He replied: I do not know. He then met me later on and told me: He was al-Harith Ibn Hatib, brother of Muhammad Ibn Hatib. The governor then said: There is among you a man who is more acquainted with Allah and His Messenger than I. He witnessed this from the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. He then pointed with his hand to a man. Al-Husayn said: I asked an old man beside me: Who is that man to whom the governor has alluded? He said: This is Abdullah Ibn Umar رضی اللہ عنہما , and he spoke the truth. He was more acquainted with Allah than he. He (Abdullah Ibn Umar رضی اللہ عنہما ) said: For this is what the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم commanded us (to do).
