Then I arrived in Al-Madinah at the end of the month. Ibn Abbas was questioning me, then he mentioned the crescent and he said: When did you see the crescent? I said: We saw it n the night of Friday. He said: Did you see it on the night of Friday? I said: The people saw it, so they fasted, and Mu'awiyah fasted. He said: But we saw it on the night of Saturday, so we will not stop fasting until we complete thirty days or we see it. So I said: Is not the sighting and fasting of Mu'awiyah enough for you? He said: This is not how the Messenger of Allah ordered us.
