“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.’”  

حَدَّثَنِي عُمُومَتِي مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالُوا أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْنَا هِلاَلُ شَوَّالٍ فَأَصْبَحْنَا صِيَامًا فَجَاءَ رَكْبٌ مِنْ آخِرِ النَّهَارِ فَشَهِدُوا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُمْ رَأَوُا الْهِلاَلَ بِالأَمْسِ فَأَمَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُفْطِرُوا وَأَنْ يَخْرُجُوا إِلَى عِيدِهِمْ مِنَ الْغَدِ  

[Machine] From his companions general, the Prophet ﷺ said that a group came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and they testified that they had seen the crescent moon the previous day. So he commanded them to break their fast and to go out the next day. Shu'bah said, "I see it at the end of the day."  

عَنْ عُمُومَتِهِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ جَاءَ رَكْبٌ إِلَى نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺ فَشَهِدُوا أَنَّهُمْ رَأَوْهُ بِالْأَمْسِ يَعْنِي الْهِلَالَ فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يُفْطِرُوا وَأَنْ يَخْرُجُوا مِنَ الْغَدِ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ أَرَاهُ مِنْ آخِرِ النَّهَارِ  

"عَنْ أَبِي عُمَير بنِ أَنَس قَالَ: حَدَّثني عُمُومَتي مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَال: أُغمى عَلَيْنَا هِلالُ شَوَال فَأصْبَحْنَا صِيامًا فجاءَ رَكْبٌ مِنْ آخر النَّهارِ فَشَهِدُوا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أنَّهم رَأَوْا الهِلَالَ بالأَمْسِ، فَأَمَرَ النبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يُفْطِرُوا، وَأَنَ يَخْرُجُوا إِلى عِيدِهِم مِن الغَدِ".
