Hadith.2389 - Hafs ibn Ghayath al-Nakha'i narrated from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as)
"Whoever intends to travel should travel on a Saturday, for if a stone were to be dislodged from a mountain on a Saturday, Allah (swt), the Glorious and Majestic, would return it to its place. And whoever finds difficulties in fulfilling their needs should seek them on a Tuesday, for it is the day on which Allah (swt), the Glorious and Majestic, softened iron for Dawood (David), peace be upon him."

«مَنْ أَرَادَ سَفَراً فَلْيُسَافِرْ يَوْمَ اَلسَّبْتِ فَلَوْ أَنَّ حَجَراً زَالَ عَنْ جَبَلٍ فِي يَوْمِ اَلسَّبْتِ لَرَدَّهُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ وَ مَنْ تَعَذَّرَتْ عَلَيْهِ اَلْحَوَائِجُ فَلْيَلْتَمِسْ طَلَبَهَا يَوْمَ اَلثَّلاَثَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ اَلْيَوْمُ اَلَّذِي أَلاَنَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهِ اَلْحَدِيدَ لِدَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ ».
