Sunan an-Nasai 2128 (Book 22, Hadith 39) #16739
Determining the Start of Ramadan

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of fasting during Ramadan and how to determine when it begins.

It was narrated that Ribi said; "the Messenger of Allah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'When you see the crescent then fast, and when you see it, then stop fasting. If it is too cloudy then complete Shaban as thirty days, unless you see the crescent before that, then fast Ramadan as thirty days, unless you see the new crescent before that"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حِبَّانُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ بْنِ أَرْطَاةَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْهِلاَلَ فَصُومُوا وَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَأَفْطِرُوا فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَتِمُّوا شَعْبَانَ ثَلاَثِينَ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَرَوُا الْهِلاَلَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ صُومُوا رَمَضَانَ ثَلاَثِينَ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَرَوُا الْهِلاَلَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ
