2333. Al-Ash‘ath reported from Al-Ḥasan (Al-Baṣrī), regarding a man who was in a certain land and he fasted on Monday. Two men testified that they sighted the crescent on the night of Sunday. He said: “That man does not make that day up, nor do the people of his land, unless they knew that the people of a land of the Muslims had fasted on Sunday; only then they will make it up.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
2333 - حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَشْعَثُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، فِي رَجُلٍ كَانَ بِمِصْرٍ مِنَ الأَمْصَارِ، فَصَامَ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ، وَشَهِدَ رَجُلَانِ أَنَّهُمَا رَأَيَا الْهِلَالَ لَيْلَةَ الْأَحَدِ، فَقَالَ: «لَا يَقْضِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ الرَّجُلُ، وَلَا أَهْلُ مِصْرِهِ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ أَهْلَ مِصْرٍ مِنْ أَمْصَارِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَدْ صَامُوا يَوْمَ الْأَحَدِ فَيَقْضُونَهُ»
