حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ تَصُومُوا قَبْلَ رَمَضَانَ صُومُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَأَفْطِرُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ فَإِنْ حَالَتْ دُونَهُ غَيَايَةٌ فَأَكْمِلُوا ثَلاَثِينَ يَوْمًا " . وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبِي بَكْرَةَ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ .

Qutaybah told us: Abu al-Ahwas told us, from Simak ibn Harb, from Ikrimah, from Ibn Abbas, who said that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ‘Do not fast before Ramadan. Fast when you see the crescent and end the fast when you see it. If a cloud obscures it, complete thirty days.’ Related reports are narrated from Abu Hurayrah, Abu Bakrah, and Ibn Umar. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Ibn Abbas is hasan sahih, and it has also been narrated through other routes.
