FASTING ON MONDAY AND THURSDAY IS SUNNAH

Usamah bin Zaid (رضى الله عنه) said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah, sometimes you fast, and you hardly ever break your fast, and sometimes you do not fast and your hardly ever fast, except two days which, if you are fasting, you include them in your fast, and if you are not fasting, then you fast them on your own."

He (ﷺ) said: "Which two days?"

I said: "Monday and Thursday."

He (ﷺ) said: "Those are two days in which deeds are shown to the Lord of the worlds, and I like my deeds to be shown (to Him) when I am fasting."

: Sunan an-Nasa'i 2360 | Hasan

Aishah (رضي الله عنها) said:

"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to be keen to fast on Mondays and Thursdays."

: Sunan an-Nasa'i 2362 | Hasan

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was asked about fasting on Mondays and he (ﷺ) said:

"That is the day on which I was born and the day on which I was sent (as a messenger)." – or "on which Revelation came to me."

: Sahih Muslim 1162 (2747)
