1660 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْمُقْرِئُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْفِطْرُ يَوْمَ تُفْطِرُونَ، وَالْأَضْحَى يَوْمَ تُضَحُّونَ»

Commentary
'Eid' prayer is a collective worship; therefore even if one is doubtful about the appearance of new crescent, he should celebrate 'Eid' along with the general Muslim community. That is why the sighting of a new crescent is not conditioned with being seen by a great number of people, rather the testimony of two trusted Muslims is sufficient.
