حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبَيُّ ﷺ، أَوْ قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ صُوموا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَأَفْطِرُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ، فَإِنْ غُبِّيَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَكْمِلُوا عِدَّةَ شَعْبَانَ ثَلَاثِينَ.
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, or said, Abûl-Qâsim said, "Start Saum (fast) on seeing the crescent (of Ramadân), and give up Saum on seeing the crescent (of Shawwâl), and if the sky is overcast (and you cannot see the crescent), complete thirty days of Sh'abân." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 133, Vol. 3 )
