(5). 3289. Muḥammad bin Jubair bin Muṭ'im narrated from his father who said: "The moon was split during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ until it became as two sections, one above this mountain and one above that mountain. So they said: 'Muḥammad has cast a spell upon us.' Some of them said: 'If he could cast a spell upon us, he can not cast a spell upon all of the people.'" (Sahīh)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] Some of them reported this Hadīth similarly from Ḥuṣain, from Jubair bin Muḥammad bin Jubair bin Muṭ'im, from his father, from his grandfather Jubair bin Muṭ'im.

Commentary
Some of the disbelievers said if the moon got split just for the people of Makkah it was then perhaps a magical act; but if the people outside of Makkah said the same thing, then it could not be magic. When the people from different territories were asked about it, they also certified the splitting of the moon. [Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi, vol. 4, p. 191]
