2436. It was reported from the freed slave of Usāmah bin Zaid, that he accompanied Usāmah to the valley of Al-Qur'ān, in pursuit of his wealth (camels). He used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays. He said to him: "Why do you fast on Mondays and Thursdays while you are an old man?" He said: "The Prophet of Allāh ﷺ used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays, and he was asked about it. He said: 'The deeds of the servants (of Allāh) are presented to Allāh on Monday and Thursday.'" (Da'if)Abū Dāwud said: This is how it was said by Hishām Ad-Dastawā'i, from
Yahyā, from 'Umar bin Abī Al-Ḥakam.[1]

Commentary
This provides information concerning the system of the presentation of the people's actions and deeds before Allāh that reach Him directly without break or delay. These presentations vary in nature: some take place daily, others weekly and others on Mondays and Thursdays, and others during the month of Sha'bān.
