Abu Qatada reported,

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about his fasting, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became angry.So Umar رضي الله عنه said, "We are pleased with Allah as our Lord, with Islam as our religion, with Muhammad as our Messenger, and with our pledge of allegiance as our pledge."Then he was asked about fasting perpetually. He said, "He has neither fasted nor broken his fast," or "He did not fast and did not break his fast."Then he was asked about fasting two days and breaking fast one day. He said, "Who can manage that?"Then he was asked about fasting one day and breaking fast two days. He said, "I wish Allah would give us strength for that."Then he was asked about fasting one day and breaking fast one day. He said, "That is the fast of my brother Dawud عليه السلام."Then he was asked about fasting on Monday. He said, "That is a day on which I was born, and the day on which I was sent," or "on which revelation came down to me."Then he said, "Fasting three days of every month, and from Ramadan to Ramadan, is like fasting the entire year."Then he was asked about fasting on the day of Arafah. He said, "It expiates the past year and the coming year."Then he was asked about fasting on the day of Ashura. He said, "It expiates the past year."In this hadith, in Shuba's narration, it says, "And he was asked about fasting on Monday and Thursday." But we have remained silent about the mention of Thursday, since we consider it to be an error.
