وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: " جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ الْهِلَالَ يَعْنِي هِلَالَ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ: «أَتَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ؟» قَالَ: نَعَمْ قَالَ: «أَتَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ؟» قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: «يَا بِلَالُ أَذِّنْ فِي النَّاسِ أَن يَصُومُوا غَدا» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ والدارمي

Ibn ‘Abbas said: A Bedouin came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: ‘I have seen the new moon’—meaning the new moon of Ramadan. He asked: ‘Do you testify that there is no god but Allah?’ He replied: ‘Yes.’ He asked: ‘Do you testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah?’ He replied: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Bilal, announce to the people that they are to fast tomorrow.’ Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nasa’i, Ibn Majah, and al-Darimi transmitted it.
