أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حِبَّانُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
أَرْسَلَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَنَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهَا أَيُّ الْأَيَّامِ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَكْثَرُهَا صَوْمًا؟ فَقَالَتْ يَوْمُ السَّبْتِ وَيَوْمُ الْأَحَدِ فَأَتَيْتُهُمْ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمْ فَأَنْكَرُوا ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ فَظُنُّوا أَنِّي لَمْ أَحْفَظْ فَرَدُّونِي فَقَالَتْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمْ فَقَامُوا بِأَجْمَعِهِمْ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْكِ فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا فَزَعَمَ أَنَّكِ قُلْتِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَتْ صَدَقَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَصُومُ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ وَيَوْمَ الْأَحَدِ أَكْثَرَ مَا كَانَ يَصُومُ مِنَ الْأَيَّامِ وَيَقُولُ «إِنَّهُمَا عِيدَانِ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ أُخَالِفَهُمُ»

✧ Ibn ʿAbbās and some people from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ sent me to Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, to ask her which days the Prophet ﷺ fasted most. She said, "Saturday and Sunday." I returned to them and told them, but they rejected that from me and thought that I had not memorized correctly, so they sent me back. She said the same thing, and I told them. They all stood up and said, "We sent you about such and such, and you claimed that she said such and such." She said, "He spoke the truth: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast on Saturday and Sunday more than any other days, and he would say, 'They are two festivals for the polytheists, so I like to differ from them.'"
