Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ قَالَ وَجَدْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِي بِخَطِّ يَدِهِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَتَحَرَّى صَوْمَ شَعْبَانَ وَصَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسِ.
English Translation
Abdullah said: I found this hadith in my father's book in his own handwriting: Muhammad ibn Humayd Abu Sufyan told us, from Sufyan, from Thawr ibn Yazid, from Khalid ibn Ma'dan, from A'isha, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to make a point of fasting in Sha'ban and fasting on Monday and Thursday.
