Hadith 1725
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاق بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ زِرٍّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : " قَلَّمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُفْطِرُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ " .
´It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud said:` “I rarely saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) not fasting on a Friday.”
Brief Explanation
1؎: In the previous narrations, there is explicit prohibition of fasting on Friday, and from this hadith it is understood that the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would often be fasting on Fridays. The reconciliation given is that fasting on Friday was a particularity (khasiyyah) of the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and the specific prohibition of fasting on Friday is for the ummah. Or it may be said that if Friday coincided with the white days (ayyam al-beedh), then he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would also fast on Friday, or he would fast on Friday by joining it with a day before or after.
