[Machine] "We sighted the moon of Ramadan while we were still on the same land. So we sent a man to Ibn Abbas to inquire about it. Ibn Abbas said: Hashim narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Verily, Allah has extended His view, so complete the count if it appears to you.'"  

أحمد:٣٠٢١حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَهَاشِمٌ قَالا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْبَخْتَرِيِّ قَالَ

أَهْلَلْنَا هِلالَ رَمَضَانَ وَنَحْنُ بِذَاتِ عِرْقٍ قَالَ فَأَرْسَلْنَا رَجُلًا إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْأَلُهُ قَالَ هَاشِمٌ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ مَدَّ رُؤْيَتَهُ قَالَ هَاشِمٌ لِرُؤْيَتِهِ فَإِنْ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ

Observe fast on sighting it (the new moon) and break (fast) on sighting it (the new moon), but if the sky is cloudy for you, then complete the number (of thirty). (Using translation from Muslim 1081b)

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ صُومُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَأَفْطِرُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ ثَلَاثِينَ
