1740. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays. It was said: "O Messenger of Allâh, why do you fast on Mondays and Thursdays?" He said: "On Mondays and Thursdays Allâh forgives every Muslim except two who have forsaken one another. He says: 'Leave these two until they reconcile.'" (Hasan)
1740 - حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " كَانَ يَصُومُ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسَ، فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ تَصُومُ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسَ؟ فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسَ يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ فِيهِمَا لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ، إِلَّا مُتَهَاجِرَيْنِ، يَقُولُ: دَعْهُمَا حَتَّى يَصْطَلِحَا "

Voluntary fasting on Monday and Thursday should be observed. Fasting is a great good deed whose blessing gives more hope for forgiveness. Muslims being angry with each other without a reason is a big sin. Showing anger due to a religious reason, and for the admonishment of one's family does not come under the warning mentioned in the Hadith.
