جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَأَيْتُ الْهِلاَلَ فَقَالَ أَتَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَنَادَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ صُومُوا

“A Bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: ‘I have seen the new crescent tonight.’ He said: ‘Do you bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Get up, O Bilal, and announce to the people that they should fast tomorrow.’” Abu 'Ali said: "This is how it was narrated from Walid bin Abu Thawr and Hasan bin 'Ali. It was also narrated from Hammad bin Salamah, but he did not mention Ibn 'Abbas. He said: 'And he announced that they should perform the prayer and that they should fast.'"

جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ هِلَالِ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ الْهِلَالَ فَقَالَ أَتَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَنَادَى أَنْ صُومُوا وَكَذَلِكَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَاصِمٍ عَنِ الثَّوْرِيِّ مَوْصُولًا وَرَوَاهُ غَيْرُهُمَا عَنِ الثَّوْرِيِّ مُرْسَلًا

وَسَلَّم قَالَ إِنَّ عَلَى أُمِّي رَقَبَةً وَعِنْدِي أَمَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم ائْتِنِي بِهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَتَشْهَدِينَ أَنْ لا إِلَهَ إلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قال فأعتقها
