حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " تُفَتَّحُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسِ فَيُغْفَرُ فِيهِمَا لِمَنْ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا إِلَّا الْمُهْتَجِرَيْنِ ، يُقَالُ : رُدُّوا هَذَيْنِ حَتَّى يَصْطَلِحَا " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَيُرْوَى فِي بَعْضِ الْحَدِيثِ : " ذَرُوا هَذَيْنِ حَتَّى يَصْطَلِحَا " ، قَالَ : وَمَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ الْمُهْتَجِرَيْنِ : يَعْنِي الْمُتَصَارِمَيْنِ ، وَهَذَا مِثْلُ مَا رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " لَا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ " .
´Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.A.W) said:` "The gates of Paradise are opened on Monday and Thursday. In them, (will enter) whoever has not associated anything with Allah will be forgiven, except for the two who shun each other, (about whom) it is said: 'Return these two until they make amends."

Commentary:
Note:
(In the chain of narration, Muhammad bin Rifaa is a weak narrator (layyin al-hadith), but on the basis of corroborating narrations and supporting evidences (mutaba‘at wa shawahid), this hadith is sahih li-ghayrihi [authentic due to external supporting evidence]).

Benefits and Issues:
➊ One should make a habit of keeping voluntary fasts (nafl) on Mondays and Thursdays.

➋ Fasting is a great virtuous deed, through the blessing of which there is greater hope for forgiveness.

➌ For Muslims to remain angry with one another without valid reason is a major sin.

➍ Harboring anger for a religious reason, or becoming displeased in order to admonish one’s family and dependents, is not included in this warning.

➎ Some people have tried to establish the permissibility of celebrating Mawlid (the Prophet’s birthday) from the fast of Monday, because the scholars are unanimously agreed that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was born on a Monday. However, this inference is questionable, because fasting on that day is a Sunnah, not celebrating it as an Eid, and Eid is contrary to fasting. Furthermore, it is not correct to analogize an annual Eid with a weekly Eid. This is because Rabi‘ al-Awwal came every year during the life of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), but he never celebrated an Eid in this month. For further details, see: “The Historical and Shar‘i Status of Mawlid and a Review of the Arguments of Its Proponents” by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf rahimahullah.

Benefit:
It is established from this hadith that the recording of deeds and their presentation before Allah Ta'ala every Monday and Thursday is true. If a person keeps this in mind, it is sufficient for his reformation. The deeds of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are presented before Allah Ta'ala on Monday, and the deeds of Tuesday and Wednesday are presented on Thursday. When a person has this firm belief, he will spend Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with thoughtfulness, and will strive to perform such deeds by which Allah Ta'ala becomes pleased, and so that He may bestow His special grace and favor in the coming days. Alas, man forgets everything, even his own death. Furthermore, this hadith also establishes the virtue of Monday and Thursday; for this reason, the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to observe voluntary fasting on these two days. This hadith also establishes the severe condemnation of malice and shirk (associating partners with Allah).
