Abu Qatadah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was asked about
fasting on Mondays. He said, "
That is the day on which I was born and the day on which I received Revelation
.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith points out the excellence of fasting on Mondays. The reason behind this, as is stated in
the Hadith, is that the Prophet (PBUH) was born on it and that it was the day on which he received the first
Revelation. It coincided with the 17th Ramadan as well.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
Deeds of
people are presented (to Allah) on Mondays and Thursdays. So I like that my actions be presented while I am
fasting
.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
Observance of Saum on Monday and Thursday is Mustahabb (desirable), and the reason for its being
so has been mentioned in the Hadith.

`Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her)u reported:
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to observe fast on
Mondays and Thursday
s.
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
"
Yataharra
" in the Hadith means to seek and search, that is, he (PBUH) used to make special
arrangements for it. The reason he was so particular about these Saum has been mentioned in the previous Hadith.
