[Machine] Layla, the wife of Bashir ibn al-Khassasiyyah, told me that his name before that was Zahm. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave him the name Bashir. She said that Bashir told her that he asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about fasting on Fridays and not speaking to anyone on that day. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Do not fast on Fridays unless you used to fast on that day or in a month, and do not speak to anyone. By the oath of Allah, speaking and commanding good or forbidding evil is better than keeping silent."
حَدَّثَتْنِي لَيْلَى امْرَأَةُ بَشِيرِ بْنِ الْخَصَاصِيَةِ وَكَانَ اسْمُهُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ زَحْمًا فَسَمَّاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَشِيرًا قَالَتْ حَدَّثَنِي بَشِيرٌ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَأَنْ لَا يُكَلِّمَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ أَحَدًا؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ لَا تَصُمْ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَّا فِي أَيَّامٍ كُنْتَ تَصُومُهَا أَوْ فِي شَهْرٍ وَأَنْ لَا تُكَلِّمَ أَحَدًا فَلَعَمْرِي لَأَنْ تَكَلَّمَ فَتَأْمُرَ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ تَنْهَى عَنْ مُنْكَرٍ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَسْكُتَ
