Ruling on fasting on Saturday
Hadith 887
- " إذا ولج الرجل في بيته فليقل: اللهم إني أسألك خير المولج، وخير المخرج، بسم الله ولجنا، وبسم الله خرجنا، وعلى الله ربنا توكلنا، ثم ليسلم على أهله ".
Ubaid A’raj says: My grandmother narrated to me that she went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was having lunch; it was a Saturday. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Come, eat food.” She said: I am fasting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Did you fast yesterday?” She said: No. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Then eat food, for you will get neither reward nor punishment for fasting only on Saturday.”
Hadith 888
- (لا تَصُمْ يومَ السبتِ إلا في فريضةٍ، ولو لم تَجِدْ إلا لحاءَ شجرةٍ فَأَفْطِرْ عليهِ) .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Do not fast on Saturday, except for obligatory fasts. If you find nothing but the bark of a tree, then eat that (to show that you are not fasting)."
