قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ : مَالِكٌ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْهَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ إِلَى الطُّورِ فَلَقِيتُ كَعْبَ الْأَحْبَارِ فَجَلَسْتُ مَعَهُ فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ التَّوْرَاةِ وَحَدَّثْتُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَانَ فِيمَا حَدَّثْتُهُ أَنْ قُلْتُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ خَيْرُ يَوْمٍ طَلَعَتْ فِيهِ الشَّمْسُ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ فِيهِ خُلِقَ آدَمُ وَفِيهِ أُهْبِطَ وَفِيهِ تِيبَ عَلَيْهِ وَفِيهِ مَاتَ وَفِيهِ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ وَمَا مِنْ دَابَّةٍ إِلَّا وَهِيَ مُسِيخَةٌ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ مِنْ حِينِ تُصْبِحُ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ شَفَقًا مِنْ السَّاعَةِ إِلَّا الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنْسَ وَفِيهَا سَاعَةٌ لَا يُصَادِفُهَا عَبْدٌ مُسْلِمٌ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ قَالَ كَعْبٌ ذَلِكَ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ مَرَّةً فَقُلْتُ بَلْ هِيَ فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ فَقَرَأَ كَعْبٌ التَّوْرَاةَ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ثُمَّ لَقِيتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَلَامٍ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِمَجْلِسِي مَعَ كَعْبٍ وَمَا حَدَّثْتُهُ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ قَالَ كَعْبٌ ذَلِكَ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ يَوْمٌ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ كَذَبَ كَعْبٌ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ كَعْبٌ التَّوْرَاةَ فَقَالَ بَلْ هِيَ فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ صَدَقَ كَعْبٌ.

He said: I read to 'Abd al-Rahman: Malik, from Yazid ibn 'Abdullah ibn al-Had, from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Harith al-Taymi, from Abu Salamah ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: "I went out to Mount Sinai and met Ka'b al-Ahbar, so I sat with him. He related to me from the Torah, and I related to him from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Among what I related to him was that I said: 'The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday. On it Adam was created, on it he was sent down, on it his repentance was accepted, on it he died, and on it the Hour will occur. There is no creature but that it is alert and attentive on Friday from the time it dawns until the sun rises, out of dread of the Hour, except jinn and mankind. And in it there is an hour in which no Muslim servant, while praying, coincides with it asking Allah for something, but He gives it to him.' Ka'b said: 'That happens once every year.' I said: 'Rather, it is every Friday.' So Ka'b read the Torah and said: 'The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, has spoken the truth.'" Abu Hurayrah said: "Then I met 'Abdullah ibn Salam and told him of my sitting with Ka'b and what I had related concerning Friday. I said to him: 'Ka'b said that happens once a year.' 'Abdullah ibn Salam said: 'Ka'b has erred.' Then Ka'b read the Torah again and said: 'Rather it is every Friday.' 'Abdullah ibn Salam said: 'Ka'b has spoken the truth.'"
