English translation

1900. Narrated Ibn 'Umar رضي الله عنهما: I heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saying, "When you see the crescent (of the month of Ramaḍān), start observing Ṣaum (fast) and when you see the crescent (of the month of Shawwāl), stop observing Ṣaum; and if the sky is overcast (and you can't see it) then regard the crescent (month) of Ramaḍān (as of 30 days)." (1) (Ch.5) Do not observe fast one or two days before Ramaḍān immediately, fearing to miss the right beginning of the month. (See Hadith 1914).

1900 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَصُومُوا، وَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَأَفْطِرُوا، فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْدُرُوا لَهُ» وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ: عَنِ اللَّيْثِ، حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ، وَيُونُسُ: لِهِلاَلِ رَمَضَانَ
