حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُ (١) بْنُ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ مَوْلَى قُدَامَةَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ، عَنْ مَوْلَى أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، أَنَّهُ انْطَلَقَ مَعَ أُسَامَةَ إِلَى وَادِي الْقُرَى يَطْلُبُ مَالًا لَهُ، وَكَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَيَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مَوْلَاهُ: لِمَ تَصُومُ يَوْمَ الْإِثْنَيْنِ وَيَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ، وَأَنْتَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ قَدْ رَقَقْتَ؟ قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَيَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ، فَسُئِلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ أَعْمَالَ النَّاسِ تُعْرَضُ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَيَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ " (٢)، ،

English translation
It is narrated from a freed slave of Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day he went with Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) to Wadi al-Qura in search of his wealth. It was the habit of Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) that he used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays. His slave asked him, "Despite being so old and weak, why do you so regularly fast on Mondays and Thursdays?" He replied that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) also used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays. Someone asked him the reason for this, so the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "On Mondays and Thursdays, the deeds of people are presented."
