narrated that Abû Al-Bakhtarî said: "We went out for Umrah, and when we stopped in Batn Nakhlah, we looked for the crescent and we saw it. Some of the people said: 'It is three nights old,' and some of them said: 'It is two nights old.' Then we met Ibn 'Abbâs and we said: 'We have spotted the crescent; some of the people said that it was three nights old, and some of the said that it was two nights old.' He said: 'On what night did you see it?' We said: 'On such-and-such a night.' He said: 'The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ [said: "Indeed Allâh] causes it to appear for long enough that it can be seen, so on the night that you saw it, that was when it appeared."'

٢٩ - (١٠٨٨) حدثنا أبو بكر بن أبي شيبة. حدثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ. قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا لِلْعُمْرَةِ. فَلَمَّا نَزَلْنَا بِبَطْنِ نَخْلَةَ قَالَ: تَرَاءَيْنَا الْهِلَالَ. فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ: هُوَ ابْنُ ثَلَاثٍ. وَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ: هُوَ ابْنُ لَيْلَتَيْنِ. قَالَ: فَلَقِينَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ. فَقُلْنَا: إِنَّا رَأَيْنَا الْهِلَالَ. فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ: هُوَ ابْنُ ثَلَاثٍ. وَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ: هُوَ ابْنُ لَيْلَتَيْنِ. فَقَالَ: أَيَّ لَيْلَةٍ رَأَيْتُمُوهُ؟ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا: لَيْلَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا. فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ "إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَدَّهُ لِلرُّؤْيَةِ. فَهُوَ لليلة رأيتموه".
