Summary
The hadith on the supplication when sighting the new moon, narrated by al-Tirmidhi from Talhah bin Ubaidillah, is judged hasan by the view favoured in this ruling. Al-Tirmidhi graded it hasan gharib, al-Albani and Ahmad Shakir graded it hasan, while Ibn Hajar said its chain is weak. The narration of Ibn Umar recorded by Ibn Hibban is considered weak, though its wording may be recited as a supplication provided it is not attributed to the Prophet.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
