2329. Abū Al-Azhar Al-Mugīrah bin Farwah said: "Mu'āwiyah stood among the people in Dair Miṣhal which is at the gate of Himš. He said: 'O people! We have sighted the crescent (of Sha'bān) on such and such day. We will fast in advance (in Sha'bān before Ramaḍān). Anyone who likes to do so, he may do so.'" He said: "Mālik bin Hubairah As-Saba'i stood up and said: 'O Mu'awiyah! Did you hear this from Allāh's Messenger ﷺ or is it something from your opinion?' He replied: 'I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: 'Fast the (beginning of the) month, and Sirrahu (its end).'" (Hasan)

2329 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ الزُّبَيْدِيُّ، مِنْ كِتَابِهِ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَزْهَرِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ فَرْوَةَ، قَالَ: قَامَ مُعَاوِيَةُ فِي النَّاسِ بِدَيْرِ مِسْحَلٍ الَّذِي عَلَى بَابِ حِمْصَ، فَقَالَ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا قَدْ رَأَيْنَا الْهِلَالَ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَأَنَا مُتَقَدِّمٌ، فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَفْعَلَهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْهُ، قَالَ: فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ مَالِكُ بْنُ هُبَيْرَةَ السَّبَئِيُّ، فَقَالَ: يَا مُعَاوِيَةُ، أَشَيْءٌ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمْ شَيْءٌ مِنْ رَأْيِكَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «صُومُوا الشَّهْرَ وَسِرَّهُ»،
