Hadith 3616
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الْمَرُوَزِيُّ زَاجٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّ كُرَيْبًا مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ وَنَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثُونِي إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أُسَائِلُهَا عَنْ أَيِّ الأَيَّامِ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَكْثَرَ لِصِيَامِهَا ؟ فَقَالَتْ : يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ وَالأَحَدِ ، فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمْ ، فَكَأَنَّهُمْ أَنْكَرُوا ذَلِكَ ، فَقَامُوا بِأَجْمَعِهِمْ إِلَيْهَا ، فَقَالُوا : إِنَّا بَعَثْنَا إِلَيْكِ هَذَا فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا ، وَذَكَرَ أَنَّكِ قُلْتِ كَذَا ، فَقَالَتْ : صَدَقَ ، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَكْثَرُ مَا كَانَ يَصُومُ مِنَ الأَيَّامِ يَوْمُ السَّبْتِ وَالأَحَدِ ، وَكَانَ يَقُولُ : " إِنَّهُمَا عِيدَانِ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ ، وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُخَالِفَهُمْ " .
Kuraib narrates: Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and some other companions of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) sent me to Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) to ask her which days the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) used to fast most often. Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: On Saturday and Sunday. I returned to them and informed them about this, but they did not accept it. All of them got up and went themselves to Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: We had sent this person to you to ask about this matter, and he has reported that you said this. Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: He has spoken the truth; the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) used to fast most often on Saturday and Sunday. The Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) used to say: These two days are the festivals of the polytheists (they eat and drink on these days), so I wish to act contrary to them.
