Musnad Ahmad 193 (Book 2, Hadith 110) #33885
Breaking the Fast of Shawwal and Performing Wudu

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) performing wudu and breaking the fast of Shawwal, which was witnessed by 'Umar.

It was narrated that 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Laila said: I was with 'Umar and a man came to him and said:I have seen the new moon, the new moon of Shawwal'.Umar said: O people, break the fast. Then he went to a vessel in which there was water and did wudoo’, and he wiped over his khuffain. A man said: By Allah, O. Ameer al-Mu'mineen, I only came to you to ask about this. Did you see any one else do this? He said: Yes, one who was better than me and the best of the ummah. I saw Abul­-Qasim ﷺ do the same as I have done, when he was wearing a Syrian Jubbah with tight sleeves, he put his hand under the Jubbah. Then 'Umar prayed Maghrib.
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى الثَّعْلَبِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ الْهِلَالَ هِلَالَ شَوَّالٍ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَفْطِرُوا ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى عُسٍّ فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَمَسَحَ عَلَى خُفَّيْهِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ وَاللَّهِ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا أَتَيْتُكَ إِلَّا لِأَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ هَذَا أَفَرَأَيْتَ غَيْرَكَ فَعَلَهُ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ خَيْرًا مِنِّي وَخَيْرَ الْأُمَّةِ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ الَّذِي فَعَلْتُ وَعَلَيْهِ جُبَّةٌ شَامِيَّةٌ ضَيِّقَةُ الْكُمَّيْنِ فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْجُبَّةِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى عُمَرُ الْمَغْرِبَ‏.‏

It was narrated by Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Laila that he was with 'Umar when a man came to him saying he had seen the new moon for Shawal. Upon hearing this, 'Umar told everyone to break their fasts. He then went to a vessel containing water and did wudoo, wiping over his khuffain in a way that surprised those present as they hadn't seen anyone do it before. When asked if he had seen anyone else do it, 'Umar said yes - someone better than him - Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). After this, 'Umar prayed Maghrib prayer.
