حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ (١) ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّمَا الشَّهْرُ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ، فَلَا تَصُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْهُ، وَلَا تُفْطِرُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْهُ، فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ، فَاقْدُرُوا لَهُ " قَالَ نَافِعٌ: فَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ " إِذَا مَضَى مِنْ شَعْبَانَ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ، يَبْعَثُ (٢) مَنْ يَنْظُرُ فَإِنْ رُئِيَ فَذَاكَ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يُرَ، وَلَمْ يَحُلْ دُونَ مَنْظَرِهِ سَحَابٌ، وَلَا قَتَرٌ أَصْبَحَ مُفْطِرًا، وَإِنْ حَالَ دُونَ مَنْظَرِهِ سَحَابٌ أَوْ قَتَرٌ أَصْبَحَ صَائِمًا " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The month is sometimes twenty-nine days, so do not fast until you see the crescent, and do not celebrate Eid until you see it. If clouds cover you, then estimate." Nafi' says that for this reason, Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to send someone to look for the crescent after the twenty-ninth of Sha'ban. If the crescent was sighted, it was fine; if it was not sighted and there were no clouds or dust, then he would not fast the next day. But if there were clouds or dust, he would fast.
