Bayhaqi 8497 — Reports on the prohibition of singling out Saturday

وَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ حَلِيمٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو ⦗٤٩٩⦘ الْمُوَجِّهِ، ثنا عَبْدَانُ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ هُوَ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ كُرَيْبًا مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَنَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثُونِي إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا أَسْأَلُهَا عَنْ أِيِّ الْأَيَّامِ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَكْثَرَ لَهَا صِيَامًا، فَقَالَتْ: يَوْمُ السَّبْتِ وَالْأَحَدِ، فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمْ فَكَأَنَّهُمْ أَنْكَرُوا ذَلِكَ فَقَامُوا بِأَجْمَعِهِمْ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالُوا: إِنَّا بَعَثْنَا إِلَيْكِ هَذَا فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا فَذَكَرَ أَنَّكِ قُلْتِ: كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَتْ: صَدَقَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَكْثَرَ مَا كَانَ يَصُومُ مِنَ الْأَيَّامِ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ وَالْأَحَدِ، وَكَانَ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّهُمَا يَوْمَا عِيدٍ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُخَالِفَهُمْ ".
Kurayb, the freed slave of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), narrates that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and some people from among the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent him to Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) to ask her about the days on which he (peace and blessings be upon him) most often fasted. She said: Saturday and Sunday. Then I returned to them and informed them, and it was as though they found it strange, so they all went to her (and said): We sent him to you for this matter, and he says that you (may Allah be pleased with her) said this. She said: He has spoken the truth; indeed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) most often fasted on Saturday and Sunday, and he used to say: "These were days of festival for the polytheists, and I want to differ from them."
