حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ، أَنَّ مَوْلَى قُدَامَةَ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ مَوْلًى لِأُسَامَةَ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ، كَانَ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى مَالِهِ 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، إِنَّكَ تَصُومُ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسَ. فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ الْأَعْمَالَ تُعْرَضُ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسِ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from a freed slave of Usama bin Zaid (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, "Despite being so old and weak, why do you observe the fast of Monday and Thursday so regularly?" He replied, "The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) also used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays. Someone asked him the reason for this, so the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'On Mondays and Thursdays, the deeds of people are presented.'"
