أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ أَبُو الْغُصْنِ شَيْخٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ! إِنَّكَ تَصُومُ حَتَّى لَا تَكَادَ تُفْطِرُ ، وَتُفْطِرُ حَتَّى لَا تَكَادَ أَنْ تَصُومَ ، إِلَّا يَوْمَيْنِ إِنْ دَخَلَا فِي صِيَامِكَ وَإِلَّا صُمْتَهُمَا ، قَالَ : " أَيُّ يَوْمَيْنِ ؟ " , قُلْتُ : يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَيَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ ، قَالَ : " ذَانِكَ يَوْمَانِ تُعْرَضُ فِيهِمَا الْأَعْمَالُ عَلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ، فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ يُعْرَضَ عَمَلِي وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ " .
´Usamah bin Zaid said:` "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, sometimes you fast, and you hardly ever break your hardly ever fast, except two days which, if you are fasting, you include them in your fast, and if you are not fasting, then you fast them on your own.' He said: 'Which two days?' I said: 'Monday and Thursday.' He said: 'Those are two days in which deeds are shown to the Lord of the worlds, and I like my deeds to be shown (to Him) when I am fasting."'

Benefits and Issues:
In addition to this, in a hadith from Sahih Muslim and others, it is stated that the deeds of the night are raised to Him before the coming of the day, and the deeds of the day are raised to Him before the coming of the night. (Or, they are presented before Him.) (Sahih Muslim, Kitab al-Iman, Hadith: 179) In summary, these ahadith describe the system of the raising of deeds, which, without any delay or interruption, reach Allah ‘azza wa jall, and there can be a difference in the nature of these presentations: one is daily, and the other is weekly, which occurs on Mondays and Thursdays. Similarly, regarding Sha‘ban, it is also mentioned, so that presentation could be annual. And Allah knows best.
