English translation

2327. It was reported from Simāk, from 'Ikrimah, from Ibn 'Abbās, who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Do not precede the month by fasting a day or two, except if one has been in practice of fasting on a particular day, and do not fast until you sight it (the crescent), then fast until you sight it. If it is obscure due to weather, then complete the count of thirty (days), and then break the fast. The month (may be) twenty-nine days. (Da'if) Abū Dāwūd said: It was reported with similar meaning by Hātim bin Abī Ṣagīrah, Shū'bah and Al-Ḥasan bin Ṣāliḥ, from Simāk, but they did not mention: "and then break the fast." Abū Dāwūd said: He is Hātim bin Muslim bin Abī Ṣagīrah, and Abū Ṣagīrah is his mother's husband.

2327 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تُقَدِّمُوا الشَّهْرَ بِصِيَامِ يَوْمٍ، وَلَا يَوْمَيْنِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ شَيْءٌ يَصُومُهُ أَحَدُكُمْ، وَلَا تَصُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْهُ، ثُمَّ صُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْهُ، فَإِنْ حَالَ دُونَهُ غَمَامَةٌ، فَأَتِمُّوا الْعِدَّةَ ثَلَاثِينَ، ثُمَّ أَفْطِرُوا وَالشَّهْرُ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: رَوَاهُ حَاتِمُ بْنُ أَبِي صَغِيرَةَ، وَشُعْبَةُ، وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ بِمَعْنَاهُ لَمْ يَقُولُوا: «ثُمَّ أَفْطِرُوا»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «وَهُوَ حَاتِمُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ابْنُ أَبِي صَغِيرَةَ، وَأَبُو صَغِيرَةَ زَوْجُ أُمِّهِ»
