[Machine] I was sitting with Abu Huraira when a man came to him and said, "Indeed, you have prohibited fasting on the day of Friday for the people." Abu Huraira replied, "I did not prohibit the people from fasting on the day of Friday. However, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Do not fast on the day of Friday unless you combine it with preceding or succeeding days.'"  

كُنْتُ قَاعِدًا عِنْدَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّكَ نَهَيْتَ النَّاسَ عَنْ صِيَامِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ مَا نَهَيْتُ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَصُومُوا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا تَصُومُوا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَإِنَّهُ يَوْمُ عِيدٍ إِلَّا أَنْ تَصِلُوهُ بِأَيَّامٍ»
