وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: «لاَ أُجِيزُ فِي رُؤْيَةِ اَلْهِلاَلِ إِلاَّ شَهَادَةَ رَجُلَيْنِ عَدْلَيْنِ.

In the narration of al-Halabi from Abu Abdullah (a.s), it is reported that Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s), used to say: "I do not accept the sighting of the crescent except with the testimony of two just men."
