عن عبد الرحمن بن زيد بن الخطاب انه خطب في اليوم الذي يشك فيه، فقال: الا إني قد جلست اصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم وسالتهم، الا وإنهم حدثوني ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم قال: ((صوموا لرؤيته وافطروا لرؤيته وانسكوا لها، فإن غم عليكم فاتموا ثلاثين، وإن شهد شاهدان مسلمان، فصوموا وافطروا))
Abdur Rahman bin Zaid bin Khattab says: I delivered a sermon on a day about which there was doubt as to whether it was Sha'ban or Ramadan. I said: I have sat with the noble Companions and asked them questions; they informed me that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Begin fasting upon sighting the moon and stop fasting upon sighting the moon, and perform other acts of worship accordingly. If, for some reason, the moon is concealed, then complete thirty days, and if two Muslims bear witness to the sighting or non-sighting of the moon, then begin or stop fasting on that basis.

عن ربعي بن حراش عن بعض اصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم قال: اصبح الناس لتمام ثلاثين يوما، فجاء اعرابيان فشهدا انهما اهلاه بالامس عشية، فامر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم الناس ان يفطروا
It is narrated from a companion that on the thirtieth day of Ramadan, people began the morning in a state of fasting. Meanwhile, two Bedouins arrived and testified that they had seen the moon the previous evening. On this basis, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered the people to break their fast at that very moment.

عن ابي عمير بن انس حدثني عمومة لي من الانصار من اصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم قال: غم علينا هلال شوال فاصبحنا صياما، فجاء ركب من آخر النهار فشهدوا عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم انهم راوا الهلال بالامس، فامر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ان يفطروا من يومهم وان يخرجوا لعيدهم من الغد
Abu Umair bin Anas says: My Ansari uncles, who were among the Companions, narrated to me that (on the 29th of Ramadan) they did not see the crescent of Shawwal, so the people fasted in the morning. Then, in the latter part of the day, a caravan arrived and they testified before the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that they had seen the crescent the previous evening. So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered the people to break their fast and to go out for Eid the next day.
