1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yusuf ibn ‘Aqil from Muhammad ibn Qays who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘If two witnesses testify before the Imam to their seeing the new moon after thirty days, the Imam issues a commandment to discontinue fasting. He (the Imam) performs Salat (prayer) on that day if they have seen it before Zawal (declining of the sun toward the west at noontime), but if they see it after Zawal, the Imam issues a commandment to discontinue fasting on that day and delays Salat (prayer) for the next day.”’
IsnādMuhammad ibn Yahya a rapporté de Muhammad ibn Ahmad, de Muhammad ibn Isa, de Yusuf ibn Aqil, de Muhammad ibn Qays, d'Abu Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui)
Lorsque deux témoins attestent devant l'imam qu'ils ont vu le croissant lunaire depuis trente jours, l'imam ordonne de rompre le jeûne et prie ce jour-là. S'ils témoignent avant le coucher du soleil, l'imam ordonne de rompre le jeûne ce jour-là. S'ils témoignent après le coucher du soleil, l'imam ordonne de rompre le jeûne le jour suivant et retarde la prière pour eux.
