Al-Nasa’i transmits a moon-sighting report through Muhammad b. Hunayn ← ‘Abd Allah b. ‘Abbas with wording closely resembling the report attributed to Ibn ‘Umar, including the instruction to complete the count to thirty.
This route reaches Ibn ‘Abbas rather than Ibn ‘Umar, so its ordinary technical category is shahid, not partial mutaba‘ah. Because the corresponding words are closely alike, it is cited as a verbal shahid.
“Verbal” here means substantial correspondence in the relevant expression, not that every word in every transmission must be identical. Both the exact text and the chain retain their own requirements of verification.
