Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُمَيْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ حَدَّثَنِي عُمُومَةٌ لِي مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ غُمَّ عَلَيْنَا هِلَالُ شَوَّالٍ فَأَصْبَحْنَا صِيَامًا فَجَاءَ رَكْبٌ مِنْ آخِرِ النَّهَارِ فَشَهِدُوا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُمْ رَأَوْا الْهِلَالَ بِالْأَمْسِ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُفْطِرُوا مِنْ يَوْمِهِمْ وَأَنْ يَخْرُجُوا لِعِيدِهِمْ مِنْ الْغَدِ.
English Translation
Hushaym told us, Abu Bishr informed us, from Abu 'Umayr ibn Anas -- my uncles among the Ansar, from the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, told me -- he said: The new moon of Shawwal was obscured from us, so we began the day fasting. Then a group of riders came at the end of the day and testified before the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that they had seen the new moon the day before. So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered them to break their fast that day and to go out for their festival the next morning.
