باب في صِيَامِ يَوْمِ الاِثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسِ:Chapter: Fasting on Monday and Thursday
Hadith 1788
حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ، أَنَّ مَوْلَى قُدَامَةَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ حَدَّثَهُ، أَنَّ مَوْلَى أُسَامَةَ حَدَّثَهُ، قَالَ: كَانَ أُسَامَةُ يَرْكَبُ إِلَى مَالٍ لَهُ بِوَادِي الْقُرَى، فَيَصُومُ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: لِمَ تَصُومُ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسَ فِي السَّفَرِ وَقَدْ كَبِرْتَ وَضَعُفْتَ أَوْ رَقِقْتَ ؟ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَصُومُ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسَ، وَقَالَ: "إِنَّ أَعْمَالَ النَّاسِ تُعْرَضُ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسِ".
The servant of Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that he used to go with Sayyiduna Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) to Wadi al-Qura, where he had livestock (such as camels, etc.), so he would fast on Mondays and Thursdays during the journey. His servant asked: Why do you fast on Mondays and Thursdays while traveling, even though you are elderly, have become weak, or have grown thin? Sayyiduna Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays and would say: "People's deeds are presented (to Allah) on Mondays and Thursdays."
