Narrated Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah, from Ghandar, from Shu'bah; and also narrated Ibn al-Muthanna and Ibn Bashshar, both saying: Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, Shu'bah informed us, from 'Amr ibn Murrah, who said: I heard Abu al-Bakhtari say: We sighted the new moon of Ramadan while we were at Dhat 'Irq, so we sent a man to Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) to ask him. Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah has extended it for its sighting, so if it is obscured from you, then complete the number (of days)."
