WE RELATE FROM the Musnad of ad-Darimi and the book of at-Tirmidhi, from Talha ibn `Ubaydullah 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." At-Tirmidhi describes this hadith as hasan.

Allahumma ahillahu `alayna bi-l-yumni wa-l-iman,
wa-s-salamati wa-l-Islam, Rabbi wa Rabbuka-llah.

Note:Ibn Hajar grades it as hasan.
