Question

Is there any narration that Nabi (saw) would like to set out on a journey on Thursday?

 

Answer

Yes. Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has recorded these narrations in his Sahih.

1) Sayyiduna Ka’b ibn Malik (radiyallahu ‘anhu) would say “Rarely did Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) set out on a journey except on a Thursday.”

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 2949)

2) Sayyiduna Ka’b ibn Malik (radiyallahu ‘anhu) said, “Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) set out on a Thursday on the battle of Tabuk and he preferred to set out on a Thursday.”

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 2950)

Hafiz Ibn Hajar (rahimahullah) states this does not mean that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) habitually set out on a Thursday as there are other Hadiths which state Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) set out on a Saturday as well.

(Fathul Bari, before Hadith: 2947)

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

التخريج من المصادر العربية

صحيح البخاري:
(٢٠٤٩، ٢٩٥٠) – وعن يونس، عن الزهري، قال: أخبرني عبد الرحمن بن كعب بن مالك، أن كعب بن مالك رضي الله عنه، كان يقول: «لقلما كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يخرج، إذا خرج في سفر إلا يوم الخميس».
حدثني عبد الله بن محمد، حدثنا هشام، أخبرنا معمر، عن الزهري، عن عبد الرحمن بن كعب بن مالك، عن أبيه رضي الله عنه، «أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم خرج يوم الخميس في غزوة تبوك وكان يحب أن يخرج يوم الخميس».

فتح الباري:
(٢٩٤٧) – وأما الخروج يوم الخميس فلعل سببه ما روي من قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم بورك لأمتي في بكورها يوم الخميس وهو حديث ضعيف أخرجه الطبراني من حديث نبيط بنون وموحدة مصغر بن شريط بفتح المعجمة أوله وكونه صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يحب الخروج يوم الخميس لا يستلزم المواظبة عليه لقيام مانع منه وسيأتي بعد باب أنه خرج في بعض أسفاره يوم السبت.
