Sahih Muslim 1637b (Book 25, Hadith 30) #11340
The Importance of Thursday

SUMMARY: This hadith speaks of the importance of Thursday and how it is so important that it brought tears to the eyes of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He then asked for a shoulder blade and inkpot to write a document which would ensure that people never go astray.

Sa'id b. Jubair reported from Ibn Abbas that he said: Thursday, and what about Thursday? Then tears began to flow until I saw them on his cheeks as it they were the strings of pearls. He (the narrator) said that Allah's Messenger said: Bring me a shoulder blade and ink-pot (or tablet and inkpot), so that I write for you a document (by following which) you would never go astray. They said: Allah's Messenger (may peace upon him) is in the state of unconsciousness.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ مِغْوَلٍ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ وَمَا يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ تَسِيلُ دُمُوعُهُ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ عَلَى خَدَّيْهِ كَأَنَّهَا نِظَامُ اللُّؤْلُؤِ ‏.‏ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ ائْتُونِي بِالْكَتِفِ وَالدَّوَاةِ - أَوِ اللَّوْحِ وَالدَّوَاةِ - أَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ كِتَابًا لَنْ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالُوا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَهْجُرُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of Thursday in Islam. It was narrated by Sa'id b. Jubair who reported from Ibn Abbas that he said when asked about the significance of Thursday, tears began to flow down his cheeks as if they were strings of pearls. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) then asked for a shoulder blade and inkpot so he could write a document which would ensure that people never go astray. This shows us how important Thursdays are in Islam and how we should strive to make sure we do something special on this day such as praying or fasting or even just taking some time out for ourselves to reflect on our faith and relationship with Allah SWT. We should also take this opportunity to remember those who have passed away on this day as well as those who are still alive but may be suffering due to any number of reasons such as poverty or illness etc., so we can pray for them too.
