Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ لَا أَتَّهِمُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا رَأَى الْهِلَالَ قَالَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ الْقَدَرِ وَمِنْ سُوءِ الْحَشْرِ.
English Translation
Abdullah told us: Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah told us: Muhammad ibn Bishr told us: 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn 'Umar told us: someone I do not suspect among the people of Syria told me, from 'Ubadah ibn as-Samit, who said: When the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, saw the new crescent moon, he would say: God is Greatest, praise be to God, there is no power and no strength except through God; O God, I ask You for the good of this month, and I seek refuge with You from the evil of predestined harm and from an evil gathering.
