حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ الرَّجَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ الْمُقَوِّمُ ، حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى الزُّهْرِيُّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ ، وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ طَعَامٌ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ ، فَقَالَ : "ادْنُوا ، فَكُلُوا مِنْ هَذَا الطَّعَامِ ، فَقُلْنَا : إِنَّا صِيَامٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ : هَلْ صُمْتُمْ أَمْسِ ؟ ، قُلْنَا : لا ، قَالَ : فَهَلْ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَصُومُوا غَدًا ؟ ، فَقُلْنَا : لا ، قَالَ : فَادْنُوا ، فَكُلُوا مِنْ هَذَا الطَّعَامِ ، فَإِنَّ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ لا يُصَامُ وَحْدَهُ "، لا يُرْوَى عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، إِلا بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) says: We went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of Jumu'ah and there was food in front of him from which he was eating, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Come near and eat the food." We said: "We are fasting, O Messenger of Allah!" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Did you fast yesterday as well?" We said: "No!" He said: "Do you intend to fast tomorrow as well?" We said: "No!" He said: "Then come near and eat this food, for it is not correct to fast only on the day of Jumu'ah."

Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
Some individuals have targeted the phrase of Hazrat Aisha radi Allahu anha, “You have likened us to donkeys and dogs,” using it as an argument against the wording of Sirat al-Mustaqim. However, such reasoning is misplaced, because Hazrat Aisha radi Allahu anha said this in an emotional manner, whereas there is no actual resemblance here.
The purpose of the hadith is merely to mention those things that can distract the mind and heart during prayer.
And even if, hypothetically, there were a resemblance here, what fault is there of those who narrate it? This statement was made by the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and how can anything he said be objectionable? That which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not consider offensive or insulting—why should we consider it so? Furthermore, if a person is not affected by a woman passing in front of him, then why did Hazrat Aisha radi Allahu anha consider sitting in front of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to be a cause of discomfort for him? And why would she slip away from the bed’s legs?

Benefits and Issues:
➊
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).
➋
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.
➌
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.
