أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ بَقِيَّةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَحِيرٌ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ يَتَحَرَّی صِيَامَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2366
Usamah bin Zaid said: “I said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, Sometimes you fast, and you hardly ever break your fast, and Sometimes you do not fast and your hardly ever fast, except two days Which, if you are fasting, you mclude them in your fast, and if You are not fasting, then you fast them on your own.’ He said: ‘Which two days?’ I said: ‘Monday and Thursday.’ He said: ‘Those are two days in which deeds are shown to the Lord of the worlds, and I like my deeds to be shown (to Him) when I am fasting.” (Hasan)
