"عَنْ مَوْلَى أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ: أَنَّ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ كَانَ يَرْكَبُ إِلَى مَالٍ لَهُ بِوَادِى الْقُرَى، وَكَانَ يَصُومُ الاثْنَيْنِ، وَالْخَمِيسَ، فَقُلتُ لَهُ: أَتَصُومُ وَقَدْ كبِرْتَ وَرَقَقْتَ؟ فَقَالَ: إِنِّى رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ يَصومُ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ، وَالْخَمِيسِ، فَقُلتُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله! أَتَصُومُ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ، وَالْخَمِيسِ؟ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الأعْمَالَ تُعْرَضُ عَلَى الله يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ، وَالْخَمِيسِ".
[AI] He said, "Usama used to ride to his wealth in the Valley of Al-Qura. He used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays while on the journey. So, I said to him, 'Why do you fast on Mondays and Thursdays while traveling, considering your old age and the weakness or softness of your body?' He replied, 'Verily, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays, and he said, 'Verily, the deeds are presented [to Allah] on Mondays and Thursdays."'
قَالَ كَانَ أُسَامَةُ يَرْكَبُ إِلَى مَالٍ لَهُ بِوَادِي الْقُرَى فَيَصُومُ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ لِمَ تَصُومُ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسَ فِي السَّفَرِ وَقَدْ كَبِرْتَ وَضَعُفْتَ أَوْ رَقِقْتَ ؟ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَصُومُ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسَ وَقَالَ «إِنَّ أَعْمَالَ النَّاسِ تُعْرَضُ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسِ»
The client of Usamah ibn Zayd said that he went along with Usamah to Wadi al-Qura in pursuit of his camels. He would fast on Monday and Thursday. His client said to him: Why do you fast on Monday and Thursday, while you are an old man? He said: The Prophet of Allah ﷺ used to fast on Monday and Thursday. When he was asked about it, he said: The works of the servants (of Allah) are presented (to Allah) on Monday and Thursday. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2436)
أَنَّهُ انْطَلَقَ مَعَ أُسَامَةَ إِلَى وَادِي الْقُرَى يَطْلُبُ مَالًا لَهُ وَكَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَيَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَوْلَاهُ لِمَ تَصُومُ يَوْمَ الْإِثْنَيْنِ وَيَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ وَأَنْتَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ قَدْ رَقَقْتَ؟ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَيَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ فَسُئِلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَعْمَالَ النَّاسِ تُعْرَضُ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَيَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ
[AI] The Messenger of Allah used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays, so I said, "O Messenger of Allah, why do you fast on Mondays and Thursdays?" He replied, "Verily, actions are presented on Mondays and Thursdays before Allah."
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَصُومُ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لِمَ تَصُومُ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسَ؟ قَالَ إِنَّ الْأَعْمَالَ تُعْرَضُ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَيَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ
[AI] Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays, so I said, "O Messenger of Allah, indeed you fast on Mondays and Thursdays." He replied, "Verily, deeds are presented on Mondays and Thursdays."
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَصُومُ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّكَ تَصُومُ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْأَعْمَالَ تُعْرَضُ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسِ
