[2530] 30 - (...) Abû Al-Bakhtarî said: "We saw the crescent of Ramaḍân when we were in Dhât 'Irq, so we sent a man to Ibn 'Abbâs [may Allâh be pleased with them] to ask him. Ibn 'Abbâs [may Allâh be pleased with them] said: 'The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Allâh causes it to appear for long enough that it can be seen, and if it is cloudy then complete the number (of days)."'

Arabic text

30 - (1088) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْبَخْتَرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَهْلَلْنَا رَمَضَانَ وَنَحْنُ بِذَاتِ عِرْقٍ، فَأَرْسَلْنَا رَجُلًا إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا يَسْأَلُهُ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَمَدَّهُ لِرُؤْيَتِهِ، فَإِنْ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ»
