حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي الْحَارِثِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ مَا أَنَا أَنْهَاكُمْ أَنْ تَصُومُوا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَلَكِنْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَا تَصُومُوا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَّا أَنْ تَصُومُوا قَبْلَهُ وَمَا أَنَا أُصَلِّي فِي نَعْلَيْنِ وَلَكِنْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي فِي نَعْلَيْنِ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ زِيَادٍ الْحَارِثِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا يَسْأَلُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us: Shu'bah told us, from Abd al-Malik ibn Umayr, from a man of Banu al-Harith, who heard Abu Hurairah say: "It is not that I am forbidding you to fast on Friday, but I heard the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, say, 'Do not fast on Friday unless you fast the day before it.' And it is not that I pray in two sandals, but I saw the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, pray in two sandals." Hajjaj told us: Sharik told us, from Abd al-Malik ibn Umayr, from Ziyad al-Harithi, who said: I heard a man ask Abu Hurairah, and he mentioned the same meaning.
