Imam Navavi® quotes: "Some of our followers say: If the Hilal is seen at one place it is binding on all people on the Earth. Certainly Ibn Abbas® did not accept Kuraib's information because of lack of evidence. Evidence cannot be confirmed by one person." (Sharah Muslim: Vol 4 P.212)
Imam Shaukani®'s interpretation is quoted and accepted in Turmudi's explanatory work Tuhfathul Ahvadiyya (vol.3, P 379). "Ibn Abbas® rejected Kuraib's statement for want of witnesses."
