English Commentary:
1:
One reason given for this is that on these two days, deeds are presented before Allah, as narrated from Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Deeds are presented (to Allah) on Mondays and Thursdays, so I love that my deeds be presented while I am fasting.” Another reason is that which is mentioned in the narration of Muslim, that when the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was asked about fasting on Monday, he said: “That is the day on which I was born and on it I was sent as a Prophet, or on it revelation was sent down to me.”
