English translation

2321. Ayyūb said: “‘Umar bin ‘Abdul-‘Azīz wrote to the people of Al-Baṣrah: ‘It has been conveyed to us, from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ...’ — similar to the (previous) narration of Ibn ‘Umar, from the Prophet ﷺ. And he added: “The best means of calculation is that if we sight the crescent of Sha’bān on such and such date,[1] then Allāh Willing, the fast will begin on such and such date unless the crescent is sighted before that.” (Da’if)

2321 - حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَيُّوبُ، قَالَ: كَتَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ بَلَغَنَا، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ، ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَادَ، وَإِنَّ أَحْسَنَ مَا يُقْدَرُ لَهُ أَنَّا إِذَا رَأَيْنَا هِلَالَ شَعْبَانَ لِكَذَا وَكَذَا، فَالصَّوْمُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لِكَذَا وَكَذَا، إِلَّا أَنْ تَرَوُا الْهِلَالَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ
