Hadith 3869
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ يَوْمُ عِيدٍ، فَلَا تَجْعَلُوا يَوْمَ عِيدِكُمْ يَوْمَ صِيَامِكُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ تَصُومُوا قَبْلَهُ أَوْ بَعْدَهُ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Verily, Friday is a day of Eid, so do not fast on this day of Eid, except that you fast a day before it or a day after it.

وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ: نَهَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ صِيَامِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ فِي أَيَّامٍ

Hadith 3871
عَنْ إِيَادِ بْنِ لَقِيطٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ لَيْلَى امْرَأَةَ بِشْرٍ تَقُولُ: إِنَّ بَشِيرًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَأَصُومُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَلَا أُكَلِّمُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ أَحَدًا؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((لَا تَصُمْ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَّا فِي أَيَّامٍ هُوَ أَحَدُهَا أَوْ فِي شَهْرٍ، وَأَمَّا أَنْ لَا تُكَلِّمَ أَحَدًا فَلَعَمْرِي! لَا أَنْ تَكَلَّمَ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَتَنْهَى عَنْ مُنْكَرٍ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَسْكُتَ))
Sayyida Laila, the wife of Bashir, says that Sayyiduna Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): I will fast on Friday and will not speak to anyone on that day, (is this permissible)? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not fast only on Friday, unless you are also fasting on other days or as a habit in the month, and Friday happens to be one of those days. As for your remaining silent, by my life! Speaking to enjoin good and forbid evil is better than remaining silent.
Hadith 3872
عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَسَأَلَهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ! أَنْتَ نَهَيْتَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَصُومُوا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ؟ قَالَ: لَا، لَعَمْرُ اللَّهِ! غَيْرَ أَنِّي وَرَبِّ هَذِهِ الْحُرْمَةِ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((لَا يَصُمَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَّا فِي أَيَّامٍ يَصُومُهَا فِيهَا))
It is narrated from a member of Banu Harith bin Ka'b, he says: I was sitting with Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), when a man came to him and asked: Abu Hurairah!

I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: None of you should ever fast on Friday, except that it coincides with days in which he is already fasting.
