Abu Bakhtari narrates: We saw the moon of Eid at the place of Dhat Shaquq, and we were in doubt about it—whether it was the moon of the first, second, or third night. So we sent a person to Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them). Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "Allah the Exalted has connected this command with the sighting of the moon. If clouds cover you, then complete the count of thirty days of Sha'ban." This narration is authentic as transmitted from Shu'bah; other narrators have transmitted it from Amr ibn Murrah. Only the narrator named Adam has mentioned the words "the count of Sha'ban" in this hadith, and this narrator is trustworthy.
