وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ اَلْخَزَّازِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَخْرُجَ فَجِئْنَا نُسَلِّمُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ «كَأَنَّكُمْ طَلَبْتُمْ بَرَكَةَ اَلْإِثْنَيْنِ » قُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَأَيُّ يَوْمٍ أَعْظَمُ شُؤْماً مِنْ يَوْمِ اَلْإِثْنَيْنِ فَقَدْنَا فِيهِ نَبِيَّنَا صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ اِرْتَفَعَ اَلْوَحْيُ عَنَّا لاَ تَخْرُجُوا يَوْمَ اَلْإِثْنَيْنِ وَ اُخْرُجُوا يَوْمَ اَلثَّلاَثَاءِ ».
It is narrated from Abu Ayyub Al-Khazzaz that he said: "We intended to leave, so we went to bid farewell to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام. Imam عليه السلام said: 'It seems you are seeking the blessing of Monday.' We said: 'Yes.' Imam عليه السلام said: 'What day is more ominous than Monday? On that day, we lost our Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, and revelation ceased to descend upon us. Do not depart on Monday; instead, depart on Tuesday.'"
