Context
WE RELATE FROM the Musnad of ad-Dārimī and the book of at-Tirmidhī, from Ṭalḥah ibn ‘Ubaydullāh
who reported that when the Messenger of Allah
saw the new moon he said: “O Allah, make it rise over us with good fortune, faith, peace, and submission. My Lord and your Lord is Allah.” [1].At-Tirmidhī describes this hadith as ḥasan.
