You say, لَا أَحْكُمُ بِكَذَا اـِلَّا بِثَبَتٍ I will not decide so unless on the ground of proof, or evidence. (S.) And it is said in a trad. respecting the day of doubt, [i. e. the day of which one doubts whether it be the last of Shaabán or the first of Ramadán,] ثُمَّ جَاآءَ الثَّبَتُ أَنَّهُ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ Then came the proof, or evidence, or voucher, that it was of Ramadán.
