وَ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْلِ أَمِيرِ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عِنْدَ رُؤْيَةِ اَلْهِلاَلِ «أَيُّهَا اَلْخَلْقُ اَلْمُطِيعُ اَلدَّائِبُ اَلسَّرِيعُ اَلْمُتَرَدِّدُ فِي فَلَكِ اَلتَّدْبِيرِ اَلْمُتَصَرِّفُ فِي مَنَازِلِ اَلتَّقْدِيرِ آمَنْتُ بِمَنْ نَوَّرَ بِكَ اَلظُّلَمَ وَ أَضَاءَ بِكَ اَلْبُهَمَ وَ جَعَلَكَ آيَةً مِنْ آيَاتِ سُلْطَانِهِ وَ اِمْتَهَنَكَ بِالزِّيَادَةِ وَ اَلنُّقْصَانِ وَ اَلطُّلُوعِ وَ اَلْأُفُولِ وَ اَلْإِنَارَةِ وَ اَلْكُسُوفِ فِي كُلِّ ذَلِكَ أَنْتَ لَهُ مُطِيعٌ وَ إِلَى إِرَادَتِهِ سَرِيعٌ سُبْحَانَهُ مَا أَحْسَنَ مَا دَبَّرَ وَ أَتْقَنَ مَا صَنَعَ فِي مُلْكِهِ وَ جَعَلَكَ اَللَّهُ هِلاَلَ شَهْرٍ حَادِثٍ لِأَمْرٍ حَادِثٍ جَعَلَكَ اَللَّهُ هِلاَلَ أَمْنٍ وَ إِيمَانٍ وَ سَلاَمَةٍ وَ إِسْلاَمٍ هِلاَلَ أَمَنَةٍ مِنَ اَلْعَاهَاتِ وَ سَلاَمَةٍ مِنَ اَلسَّيِّئَاتِ: اَللَّهُمَّ اِجْعَلْنَا أَهْدَى مَنْ طَلَعَ عَلَيْهِ وَ أَزْكَى مَنْ نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ وَ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ اَلنَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ اَللَّهُمَّ اِفْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا يَا أَرْحَمَ اَلرَّاحِمِينَ ».
Among the sayings of Amir al-Mu'minin (a.s) upon sighting the crescent was: "O obedient creation, tireless, swift, revolving in the orbit of decreed management, moving through the stages of measured determination. I believe in the One who brightened the darkness with you, illuminated obscurities through you, and made you a sign among the signs of His sovereignty. He subjected you to increase and decrease, rising and setting, illumination and eclipse. In all of this, you remain obedient to Him and quick to fulfill His will. Glory be to Him! How excellent is His management, and how perfect is His craftsmanship in His dominion. May Allah (swt) make you the crescent of a new month for a new matter, a crescent of security, faith, peace, and submission, a crescent free from calamities and safe from sins. O Allah (swt), make us the most rightly guided of those upon whom it rises and the purest of those who gaze upon it. Blessings of Allah (swt) be upon Muhammad, the Prophet, and his family. O Allah (swt), do for me [such-and-such] O Most Merciful of the merciful!"
