حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ،، ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ تَظْهَرَ الرُّومُ عَلَى فَارِسَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ أَهْلُ كِتَابٍ، وَكَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ تَظْهَرَ فَارِسُ عَلَى الرُّومِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ أَهْلُ أَوْثَانٍ، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ، فَذَكَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَمَا إِنَّهُمْ سَيَهْزِمُونَ " فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لَهُمْ، فَقَالُوا: اجْعَلْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ أَجَلًا، فَإِنْ ظَهَرُوا، كَانَ لَكَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَإِنْ ظَهَرْنَا، كَانَ لَنَا كَذَا وَكَذَا. فَجَعَلَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَجَلًا خَمْسَ سِنِينَ، فَلَمْ يَظْهَرُوا، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " أَلا جَعَلْتَهُ - أُرَاهُ قَالَ: - دُونَ الْعَشْرِ " - قَالَ: وَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ: الْبِضْعُ مَا دُونَ الْعَشْرِ - قَالَ: فَظَهَرَتِ الرُّومُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {الم غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ فِي أَدْنَى الْأَرْضِ وَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ غَلَبِهِمْ سَيَغْلِبُونَ فِي بِضْعِ سِنِينَ} [الروم: ٢] قَالَ: فَغُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ ثُمَّ غَلَبَتْ بَعْدُ، قَالَ: {لِلَّهِ الْأَمْرُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَمِنْ بَعْدُ وَيَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ بِنَصْرِ اللهِ} [الروم: ٤] قَالَ: يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ بِنَصْرِ اللهِ (١)،

It was narrated from Kuraib that

Ummul-Fadl bint al-Harith sent him to Mu'awiyah in Syria. He said: So I came to Syria and did her errand, then the month of Ramadan began when I was in Syria, and we saw the new moon on the night before Friday. Then I came to Madinah at the end of the month and 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) asked me about the new moon. He said: when did you see the new moon? I said: We saw it on the night before Friday. He said: Did you see it? I said: Yes and the people saw it and fasted, and Mu'awiyah fasted. He said: But we saw it on the night before Saturday, we will carry on fasting until we complete thirty days or we see it (the new moon of Shawwal). I said: Is not the sighting and fasting of Mu'awiyah sufficient for you? He said: No, this is the command of the Prophet (ﷺ).
