Chapter on Fasting on the Day of Doubt
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 2|Book 2|Chapter 16
وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ أَبِي مَنْصُورٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي اَلْيَوْمِ اَلَّذِي يَشُكُّ فِيهِ اَلنَّاسُ فَقَالَ «يَا غُلاَمُ اِذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ أَ صَامَ اَلْأَمِيرُ أَمْ لاَ» فَذَهَبَ ثُمَّ عَادَ فَقَالَ لاَ فَدَعَا بِالْغَدَاءِ فَتَغَدَّيْنَا مَعَهُ.
It is narrated from Isa ibn Abi Mansur, who said: "I was with Abu Abdullah عليه السلام on the day when people were uncertain (whether it was the first of Month of Ramadan or not). Imam عليه السلام said: 'O boy, go and see whether the Amir (ruler) has fasted or not.' The boy went and returned, saying: ''No, he has not fasted.' Then Imam عليه السلام called for lunch, and we ate with him."
