كُرَيْبٌ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ

tabarani:20013Yaḥyá b. ʿUthmān > Nuʿaym b. Ḥammād > Ibn al-Mubārak > ʿAbdullāh b. Muḥammad b. ʿUmar b. ʿAlī from his father > Kurayb

[Machine] People sent me to Umm Salama to ask her which days did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fast most frequently. She replied, "Saturday and Sunday." And she said, "They are the days of celebration for the polytheists, and I prefer to differ from them."  

الطبراني:٢٠٠١٣حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ثنا نُعَيْمُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ ثنا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ قَالَ

أَرْسَلَنِي نَاسٌ إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أَسْأَلُهَا أَيُّ الْأَيَّامِ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَكْثَرَهَا صَوْمًا؟ فَقَالَتْ السَّبْتُ وَالْأَحَدُ وَيَقُولُ «هُمَا يَوْمَا عِيدٍ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ أُخَالِفَهُمْ»

[Machine] He heard Umm Salamah saying that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast on Saturday and Sunday more than he would fast on other days. He would say, "Indeed, they are the days of the festival of the polytheists. So I love to differ from them."  

أحمد:٢٦٧٥٠حَدَّثَنَا عَتَّابُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُبَارَكٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ تَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ وَيَوْمَ الْأَحَدِ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا يَصُومُ مِنَ الْأَيَّامِ وَيَقُولُ إِنَّهُمَايَوْمَا عِيدِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَأَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أُخَالِفَهُمْ
