“My paternal uncles among the Ansar who were among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ told me: ‘The new crescent of Shawwal was covered with clouds, so we fasted the next day. Then some riders came at the end of the day and testified to the Prophet ﷺ that they had seen the new crescent the night before. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded them to break their fast and to go out to offer the ‘Eid prayer the following morning.’”
