9ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَكْرٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي صُهْبَانَ عَنْ حَفْصٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَالِمٍ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ خَارِجَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عُدَّ شَعْبَانَ تِسْعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ يَوْماً فَإِنْ كَانَتْ مُتَغَيِّمَةً فَأَصْبِحْ صَائِماً فَإِنْ كَانَتْ صَاحِيَةً وَتَبَصَّرْتَهُ وَلَمْ تَرَ شَيْئاً فَأَصْبِحْ مُفْطِراً.
