43.111 What a man should say when he sees the new crescent

٤٣۔١١١ باب مَا يَقُولُ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا رَأَى الْهِلاَلَ

abudawud:5092Mūsá b. Ismāʿīl > Abān > Qatādah > Balaghah

When the Prophet of Allah ﷺ saw the new moon, he said: "a new moon of good and right guidance; a new moon of good and right guidance; a new moon of good and right guidance. I believe in Him Who created you" three times. He would then say: "Praise be to Allah Who has made such and such a month to pass and has brought such and such a month."  

أبو داود:٥٠٩٢حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا رَأَى الْهِلاَلَ قَالَ هِلاَلُ خَيْرٍ وَرُشْدٍ هِلاَلُ خَيْرٍ وَرُشْدٍ هِلاَلُ خَيْرٍ وَرُشْدٍ آمَنْتُ بِالَّذِي خَلَقَكَ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي ذَهَبَ بِشَهْرِ كَذَا وَجَاءَ بِشَهْرِ كَذَا  

abudawud:5093Muḥammad b. al-ʿAlāʾ > Zayd b. Ḥubāb > Abū Hilāl > Qatādah

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw the new moon, he turned away his face from it. Abu Dawud said: On this subject there is no tradition which has perfect chain and is sound.  

أبو داود:٥٠٩٣حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ حُبَابٍ أَخْبَرَهُمْ عَنْ أَبِي هِلاَلٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا رَأَى الْهِلاَلَ صَرَفَ وَجْهَهُ عَنْهُ  

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ لَيْسَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ حَدِيثٌ مُسْنَدٌ صَحِيحٌ
