Hazrat Abu Bakhtari narrates that we set out for Umrah. When we reached the place of Batn Nakhlah, we said that we have sighted the moon. Some people said that it is the moon of the third night, while others said that it is the moon of the second night. Upon this, we met Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) and we said that we have seen the moon; some people say it is the moon of the third night and some say it is the moon of the second night. He asked, "When did you see this moon?" We replied, "On such and such night." Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty has extended the sighting of the moon; the night of the moon will be the night on which you see it."
