May I be your ransom! I have planned to go on a trip. Please pray for me.’ The Imam (as) said, ‘On which day are you planning to go?’ The man said, ‘On Monday.’ The Imam (as) said, ‘Why do you go on Monday?’ The man said, ‘I go on that day to seek blessings since that is the Prophet’s birthday.’ The Imam (as) said, ‘No, they lie. The Prophet’s (sw) birthday is on a Friday. No day is more wicked than Monday. It was on that day the Prophet (sw) perished and heavenly revelations ceased to descend. It was on that day that they usurped our rights by force. Do you want me to guide you to an easy day on which God softened iron for David (as)?’ The man said, ‘May I be your ransom! Yes.’ The Imam (as) said, ‘Go on a Tuesday.’”
