Sunan at-Tirmithiy كتاب الصوم باب ما جاء فى صوم يوم الأربعاء والخميس

حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَرِيرِىُّ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَدُّويَهْ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ سَلْمَانَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ الْقُرَشِىِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَوْ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ صِيَامِ الدَّهْرِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لأَهْلِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا صُمْ رَمَضَانَ وَالَّذِى يَلِيهِ وَكُلَّ أَرْبِعَاءٍ وَخَمِيسٍ فَإِذًا أَنْتَ قَدْ صُمْتَ الدَّهْرَ وَأَفْطَرْتَ. وَفِى الْبَابِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ مُسْلِمٍ الْقُرَشِىِّ حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ. وَرَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ سَلْمَانَ عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ.
'Ubaydullāh Ibn-Muslim al-Qurashī said, "I, or someone else, asked the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, about [the practice of] perpetual fasting. He replied, 'Indeed, you have a duty towards your family (1). Fast [the month of] Rama ḍān, that which is next to it (2), and every Wednesday and Thursday. You would then [be considered to] have fasted continuously, though you have broken fast.'" Footnotes: (1) Perpetual fasting weakens a person's physical and mental capabilities so that it is difficult to fulfill the rights of one's family. (2) This could refer to the six days of the month of Shawwāl, which follows Ramadān; or it could refer to the month of Sha'bān, which precedes Rama ḍān. Click on ḥadīth to read more
