حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَكَمِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ ، عَنْ مَوْلَى قُدَامَةَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ ، عَنْ مَوْلَى أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، أَنَّهُ انْطَلَقَ مَعَ أُسَامَةَ إِلَى وَادِي الْقُرَى فِي طَلَبِ مَالٍ لَهُ ، فَكَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَيَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ . فَقَالَ لَهُ مَوْلَاهُ : لِمَ تَصُومُ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَيَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ وَأَنْتَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ ؟ فَقَالَ : إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ " يَصُومُ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَيَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ . وَسُئِلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ أَعْمَالَ الْعِبَادِ تُعْرَضُ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَيَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : كَذَا قَالَ هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ : عَنْ يَحْيَى ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَكَمِ .
Narrated Usamah ibn Zayd: The client of Usamah ibn Zayd said that he went along with Usamah to Wadi al-Qura in pursuit of his camels. He would fast on Monday and Thursday. His client said to him: Why do you fast on Monday and Thursday, while you are an old man? He said: The Prophet of Allah ﷺ used to fast on Monday and Thursday. When he was asked about it, he said: The works of the servants (of Allah) are presented (to Allah) on Monday and Thursday.
