2340. It was reported (from Al-Walīd bin Abī Thawr and Zā'idah) from Simāk, from 'Ikrimah, from Ibn 'Abbās, who said: "A Bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'I have sighted the crescent.'" — In his narration, Al-Hasan (one of the narrators) added: "Meaning: 'of Ramaḍān.'" — "The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Do you testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh?' He said: 'Yes.' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Do you testify that Muḥammad is the Messenger of Allāh?' He said: 'Yes.' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'O Bilāl! Call out to the people that they must fast tomorrow.'" (Da'if)
