Ahmad bin Ya'qub al-Thaqafi informed us; he said: Musa bin Zakariyya narrated to us; he said: Khalifah bin Khayyat told us that: Junadah bin Abi Umayyah bin Zahran bin Ka'b bin al-Harith bin Ka'b bin Abdullah bin Malik bin Nasr al-Azdi died in the year 80 AH.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Junadah bin Abi Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with a few people of the tribe of Azd on a Friday, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) invited us to the food that was before him. We said: We are fasting. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Did you fast yesterday?" We said: No. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Will you fast tomorrow?" We said: No. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then break your fast." Then he said: "Do not fast the day of Friday on its own." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. (After this) is the honourable mention of Sayyiduna Sawad bin Qarib al-Azdi (may Allah be pleased with him).
