كُرَيْبٌ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ

tabarani:20361Muʿādh b. al-Muthanná > Muʿādh b. Asad > Ibn al-Mubārak > ʿAbdullāh b. Muḥammad b. ʿAlī b. ʿUmar from my father > Kurayb

[Machine] Ibn Abbas and some people sent me to Umm Salama to ask her which days the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast the most. She said, "He used to fast on Saturdays and Sundays more than any other days." And she also said, "Those are the days of the idolaters' festival, so I prefer to differ from them."  

الطبراني:٢٠٣٦١حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ثنا مُعَاذُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ ثنا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ قَالَ

أَرْسَلَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَأُنَاسٌ إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أَسْأَلُهَا أَيُّ الْأَيَّامِ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَكْثَرَ صِيَامًا؟ قَالَتْ «يَوْمُ السَّبْتِ وَالْأَحَدِ أَكْثَرُ مَا يَصُومُ مِنَ الْأَيَّامِ» وَيَقُولُ «إِنَّهُمَا يَوْمَا عِيدٍ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ فَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ 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
