3451. Bilāl bin Yaḥyā bin Ṭalḥah bin 'Ubaidullāh narrated from his father, from his grandfather Ṭalḥah bin 'Ubaidullāh that when the Prophet ﷺ would see a crescent moon, he would say: "O Allāh, bring it over us with blessing and faith, and security and Islam. My Lord and your Lord is Allāh (Allāhumma Ahlilhu 'Alainā Bil-Yumni Wal-Imāni Was-Salāmati Wal-Islām, Rabbi Wa Rabbuk Allāh).” (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Gharīb.
٣٤٥١ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ الْمَدِينِيُّ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي بِلَالُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ : «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا رَأَى الْهِلَالَ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ أَهْلِلْهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالْيُمْنِ وَالْإِيمَانِ وَالسَّلَامَةِ وَالْإِسْلَامِ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكَ اللهُ». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ.

Every month is a phase of life. The new crescent moon announces another month, another stage of life. The new crescent moon shows that one stage of life has passed and the next has started. The Creator of man Allāh ﷻ is also Creator of the moon, so on sighting the new crescent moon one should ask Allāh ﷻ for the good fortune, peace, safety and steadfastness in faith for the new phase.
