Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ يَعْنِي الدَّسْتُوَائِيَّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ، أَنَّ مَوْلَى قُدَامَةَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ مَوْلَى أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ، كَانَ يَخْرُجُ فِي مَالٍ لَهُ بِوَادِي الْقُرَى فَيَصُومُ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسَ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: لِمَ تَصُومُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَقَدْ كَبِرْتَ وَرَقَقْتَ؟ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَصُومُ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لِمَ تَصُومُ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسَ؟ قَالَ: " إِنَّ الْأَعْمَالَ تُعْرَضُ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَيَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from a freed slave of Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day he was with Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) in Wadi 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, "Why do you so regularly fast on Mondays and Thursdays despite being so old and weak?" He replied, "The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) also used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays." Someone asked him the reason for this, so he said, "On Mondays and Thursdays, the deeds of people are presented."
