Kuraib narrated that Umm AlFadl sent him to Muawiyah in AlSham. He said: I came to AlSham. He said: I came to AlSham and complete her errand. Then the new crescent of Ramadan was sighted while I was in AlSham. I saw the new crescent on the night of Friday; then I came to AlMadinah at the end of the month. Abdullah Bin Abbas asked me about the sighting of the moon and said: When did you see it? I said: We saw it on the night of Friday. He said; You saw it on the ninth of Friday? I said: Yes; and the people saw it and started fasting; and so did Muawiyah. He said: But we saw it on the night of Saturday; so we will continue fasting until we have completed thirty days or we see it. I said: Will you not be content with the sighting of Muawiyah and his companions? He said; No; this is what the Messenger of Allah enjoined upon us.
