[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not fast on the day of Saturday. And if any of you cannot find anything to eat except the bark of a tree, then let him chew it." This is narrated in the hadith of Ad-Daqqaq, and in the narration of Ibn 'Abdan, it is mentioned, "None of you should fast on the day of Saturday except for what is obligatory upon him. And if he cannot find anything to eat except for the bark of a tree, then let him chew it." This is also narrated by Al-Walid ibn Muslim and others from Thawr.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَصُومُوا يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَّا عُودًا فَلْيَمْضُغْهُ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الدَّقَّاقِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ عَبْدَانَ لَا يَصُومَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ إِلَّا فِيمَا افْتُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ إِلَّا لِحَاءَ شَجَرَةٍ فَلْيَمْضُغْهُ وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضًا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ وَغَيْرُهُ عَنْ ثَوْرٍ  

[Machine] She used to say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade fasting on Saturdays, and he would say: "If any of you cannot find anything but green wood, then let him break his fast with it."  

أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَقُولُ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ وَيَقُولُ إِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَّا عُودًا أَخْضَرَ فَلْيُفْطِرْ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] He intended by prohibition to specify it with fasting as a way of honoring it, and Allah knows best.  

أَرَادَ بِالنَّهْيِ تَخْصِيصَهُ بِالصَّوْمِ عَلَى طَرِيقِ التَّعْظِيمِ لَهُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] "Mawla ibni 'Abbasin wa nasan min ashabi Rasulillah ﷺ ba'athunii ila Ummi Salamah, as'aluha 'an ayyi al-ayyami kana an-nabiyyu ﷺ akthara laha siyaman. Faqalat yomu as-sabti wal-ahadi. Farajatu ilayhim fa-akhabar-tuhum fa-ka'annahum ankaru dhalika fa-qaamu bi-ajma'ihim ilayha fa-qaluu inna ba'athna ilayki hadha fi kadha wa kadha. Fa-dhakar-a annaki qulte kadha wa kadha fa-qalat sadaqa inna Rasulallahi ﷺ akthara ma kana yasumu mina al-ayyami yomu as-sabti wal-ahadi wa kana yaqulu innahuma yawma 'eedin lil-mushrikeena wa ana ureedu an ukhalifahu."  

مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَنَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثُونِي إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ؓ أَسْأَلُهَا عَنْ أِيِّ الْأَيَّامِ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَكْثَرَ لَهَا صِيَامًا فَقَالَتْ يَوْمُ السَّبْتِ وَالْأَحَدِ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمْ فَكَأَنَّهُمْ أَنْكَرُوا ذَلِكَ فَقَامُوا بِأَجْمَعِهِمْ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالُوا إِنَّا بَعَثْنَا إِلَيْكِ هَذَا فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا فَذَكَرَ أَنَّكِ قُلْتِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَتْ صَدَقَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَكْثَرَ مَا كَانَ يَصُومُ مِنَ الْأَيَّامِ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ وَالْأَحَدِ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُمَا يَوْمَا عِيدٍ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُخَالِفَهُمْ
