حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَهَاشِمٌ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْبَخْتَرِيِّ قَالَ أَهْلَلْنَا هِلَالَ رَمَضَانَ وَنَحْنُ بِذَاتِ عِرْقٍ قَالَ فَأَرْسَلْنَا رَجُلًا إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْأَلُهُ قَالَ هَاشِمٌ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ مَدَّ رُؤْيَتَهُ قَالَ هَاشِمٌ لِرُؤْيَتِهِ فَإِنْ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3022
It was narrated that 'Amr bin Murrah said: I heard Abul- Bakhtari say: We saw the new moon of Ramadan when we were in Dhat 'Irq, so we sent a man to Ibn 'Abbas (RA) to ask him. Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Allah causes it to appear for long enough that people can sec it, and if it is cloudy then complete the number (of days)."
