Ibn ‘Umar said that the people tried to see the new moon and he informed Allah's Messenger ﷺ that he had seen it, so he fasted and commanded the people to observe the fast." Abu Dawud and Darimi transmitted it.
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: تَرَاءَى النَّاسُ الْهِلَالَ فَأَخْبَرْتُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُهُ فَصَامَ وَأَمَرَ النَّاسَ بِصِيَامِهِ. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد والدارمي
