Majma al-Zawaid 5198 — Fasting on Saturdays and Sundays

عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَا تَصُمْ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ إِلَّا فِي فَرِيضَةٍ ، وَلَوْ لَمْ تَجِدْ إِلَّا لِحَاءَ شَجَرَةٍ فَأَفْطِرْ عَلَيْهِ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ مِنْ طَرِيقِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ عَنِ الْحِجَازِيِّينَ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ فِيهِمْ .
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Do not fast on Saturday, except in the case of an obligatory fast. Even if you find nothing but the bark of a tree (on Saturday), break your fast with it (that is, do not fast)."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir through Isma'il bin Ayyash from the people of the Hijaz, and this narrator is da'if (weak) in what he narrates from the people of the Hijaz.
