Hadith.1791 - In the narration of Ishaq ibn Ammar from Abu Abdullah (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as)), Imam (as) said: "Fasting on Wednesday is prescribed because no nation in the past was punished except on a Wednesday in the middle of the month. Therefore, it is recommended to fast on that day."
1791 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
«إِنَّمَا يُصَامُ فِي يَوْمِ اَلْأَرْبِعَاءِ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ تُعَذَّبْ أُمَّةٌ فِيمَا مَضَى إِلاَّ يَوْمَ اَلْأَرْبِعَاءِ وَسَطَ اَلشَّهْرِ فَيُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يُصَامَ ذَلِكَ اَلْيَوْمُ ».
