[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a covenant with us that we should sacrifice for the sighting of the moon. If we do not see it and two just witnesses testify, we will rely on their testimony. So, I asked Husayn ibn al-Harith, "Who is the leader of Mecca?" He said, "I do not know." Then he met me again and said, "It is al-Harith ibn Hattab, the brother of Muhammad ibn Hattab." Then he said, "The leader among you, who knows Allah and His Messenger better than me, testified to this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He pointed with his hand to a man and Husayn said, "I asked a sheikh beside me, 'Who is the one to whom the leader is pointing?' He said, 'This is Abdullah ibn Umar. He is more knowledgeable of Allah than him.' The sheikh said, 'This is what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us.'" Abu Bakr ibn al-Harithi al-Faqih reported to us that Ali ibn Umar al-Hafith said, "The Naysaburi asked Ibrahim al-Harbi about this hadith and he said, 'Sa'id ibn Sulayman narrated it to us.' Then Ibrahim said, 'This is al-Harith ibn Hattab ibn al-Harith ibn Ma'mar ibn Habib ibn Wahb ibn Hudhafa, who was among the emigrants from Ethiopia.' Ali ibn Umar said, 'This is a connected and authentic chain of narration.'"

Husayn ibn al-Harith al-Jadli from the tribe of Jadilah Qays said: The governor of Mecca delivered a speech and said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took a pledge from us that we should perform the rites of hajj after sighting the moon. If we do not sight it and two reliable persons bear witness, we should perform the rites of hajj on the basis of their witness. I then asked al-Husayn ibn al-Harith: Who was the governor of Mecca? He replied: I do not know. He then met me later on and told me: He was al-Harith ibn Hatib, brother of Muhammad ibn Hatib. The governor then said: There is among you a man who is more acquainted with Allah and His Apostle than I. He witnessed this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He then pointed with his hand to a man. Al-Husayn said: I asked an old man beside me: Who is that man to whom the governor has alluded? He said: "This is Abdullah ibn Umar, and he spoke the truth. He was more acquainted with Allah than he. He (Abdullah ibn Umar) said: For this is what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us (to do).
