Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And he brought out
The reader: "He brought out the rest with the evidence"
"Then these scholars differed in explaining the reason for the dislike, so Ibn Aqil explained it by saying that it is a day on which the Jews hold fast and they single it out for abstention, which is leaving off work on it, and the one who fasts is in a state of leaving off work, so his fasting becomes imitating them, and this reason is absent on Sunday"
The Shaykh : absent
The reader: "And this reason is absent on Sunday, and a group of the companions of the school explained it by saying that it is a festival day for the People of the Book which they honor, so intending it by fasting on it rather than any other day would be honoring it, so they disliked that, just as they disliked singling out Ashura for honoring it because the People of the Book honored it, and singling out Rajab as well because the polytheists honored it, and this explanation can be countered by Sunday, for it is the festival day of the Christians, for it is the festival day of the Christians"
The student: It can be countered
The Shaykh : Yes
The student: It can be countered
The Shaykh : Yes, it can be countered in our view, it can be countered, he pointed to it
The reader: He did not mention it, O Shaykh
The Shaykh : Write it down, a copy
The reader: "And this explanation can be countered by Sunday, for it is the festival day of the Christians, for he (peace and blessings be upon him) saidSahih Muslim 855c And it can be said: if it is a festival day"
The Shaykh : A day
The reader: "And it can be said: if it is a festival day, then opposing them in it is by fasting, not by breaking the fast"
The Shaykh : If it is a festival day, then opposing them
The reader: "And it can be said: if it is a festival day, then opposing them in it is by fasting, not by breaking the fast, and that is indicated by what was narrated from Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn Abbas, that he said Ahmad and al-Nasa'i narrated it, and Ibn Abi Asim, and some of the preservers graded it as authentic. And this is a text regarding the recommendation of fasting on their festival day for the sake of intending to oppose them. And it was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)"
The Shaykh : Wait, let us see the copy, yes
The reader: "And it was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she saidMishkat al-Masabih 2059 Al-Tirmidhi narrated it and said: Good, he said"
The Shaykh : , he said: A good hadith
The reader: Yes "Al-Tirmidhi narrated it and said: A good hadith. He said: And Ibn Mahdi narrated this hadith from Sufyan and did not trace it to the Prophet. And these two hadiths are not a proof against the one who disliked Saturday alone, and he explained that because they leave off work on it and fasting is a state of leaving off work, for if he fasts on Saturday and Sunday, the disliked singling out is removed, and the opposition is achieved by fasting on the day they break their fast"

She said: He used to fast on Saturday and Sunday more than he fasted on any other days, and he would say: They are the festival days of the polytheists, so I love to oppose them
أرسلني ابن عباس وناس من أصحاب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إلى أم سلمة أسألها أي الأيام كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أكثرها صياما قالت كان يصوم يوم السبت ويوم الأحد أكثر ما يصوم من الأيام ويقول إنهما يوما عيد للمشركين فأنا أحب أن أخالفهمThe Shaykh : Wait, let us see the copy, yes
