حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ شَيْبَةَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبَّادٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ جَابِرًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ " نَهَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ " ، زَادَ غَيْرُ أَبِي عَاصِمٍ يَعْنِي أَنْ يَنْفَرِدَ بِصَوْمٍ .
Narrated Muhammad bin `Abbas: I asked Jabir "Did the Prophet forbid fasting on Fridays?" He replied, "Yes." (Other narrators added, "If he intends to fast only that day.")

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:


It is permissible to converse during the circumambulation (tawaf) of the Ka'bah.
However, it is preferable to avoid unnecessary conversation and to remain engaged in supplication (du'a) and remembrance (dhikr).


It is forbidden (haram) to swear by the creation of Allah.
But if Allah is mentioned along with one of His attributes, then there is no harm.
Therefore, instead of swearing by the Ka'bah, one should swear by the Lord of the Ka'bah.


It is permissible to take an oath to emphasize a statement.
However, taking oaths excessively without necessity is not good, and a false oath is a very great sin.
