Sunan Abi Dawud 2326 (Book 14, Hadith 14) #22617
Fasting for Ramadan

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised not to fast for Ramadan until the moon is sighted or the month is completed.

Narrated Hudhayfah: The Prophet said: Do not fast (for Ramadan) before the coming of the month until you sight the moon or complete the number (of thirty days); then fast until you sight the moon or complete the number (of thirty days).
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّازُ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الضَّبِّيُّ، عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ، عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لاَ تُقَدِّمُوا الشَّهْرَ حَتَّى تَرَوُا الْهِلاَلَ أَوْ تُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ ثُمَّ صُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوُا الْهِلاَلَ أَوْ تُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَرَوَاهُ سُفْيَانُ وَغَيْرُهُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ لَمْ يُسَمِّ حُذَيْفَةَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Wait until either you can see the crescent moon or until 30 days have passed before beginning your fast for Ramadan.

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us that when it comes to fasting during the holy month of Ramadan, we should wait until either we can see the crescent moon or until 30 days have passed. This means that if we cannot see the crescent moon, then we should wait and count 30 days before beginning our fast. This hadith teaches us patience and perseverance in our faith as well as emphasizing on following Allah's commands even if it takes a bit longer than expected. It also teaches us to be mindful of time and how important it is to keep track of dates in order to fulfill our religious obligations.
