2326. It was reported from Rib‘ī bin Hīrāsh, from Hudhaifah, who said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘Do not precede the month (by fasting) until you sight the crescent, or you have completed the count (of thirty days). Then fast until you sight the crescent, or you have completed the count (of thirty days).’” (Sahīh) Abū Dāwūd said: Sufyān and others reported it from Mansūr, from Rib‘ī, from a man among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ — without naming Hudhaifah.
2326 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّازُ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الضَّبِّيُّ، عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ، عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تُقَدِّمُوا الشَّهْرَ حَتَّى تَرَوُا الْهِلَالَ، أَوْ تُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ، ثُمَّ صُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوُا الْهِلَالَ، أَوْ تُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: وَرَوَاهُ سُفْيَانُ، وَغَيْرُهُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يُسَمِّ حُذَيْفَةَ
