Context
We relate in the Musnad of ad-Dārimī from Ibn ‘Umar
who related that when the Messenger of Allah
saw the new moon he said: “Allah is greater. Allah, make it rise over us with safety, faith, peace, Islam, and the ability to do what You like, O Lord, and what You are pleased with. My Lord and your Lord is Allah.” [2].
