Seeking needs

Traveling

✅ Answer: There is no narration that prohibits going after needs, postponing tasks, or spending money on Saturdays. On the contrary, some things have been recommended for Saturdays, both generally and specifically. Please pay attention to the following narrations:

1 عَنْ دَارِمِ بْنِ قَبِیصَةَ وَ نُعَیْمِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ جَمِیعاً عَنِ الرِّضَا عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنِ النَّبِیِّ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ بَارِکْ لِأُمَّتِی فِی بُکُورِهَا یَوْمَ سَبْتِهَا وَ خَمِیسِهَا.

📚Al-Khisal, p. 394, hadith 98

Imam Ridha (peace be upon him) narrated from his ancestors from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) who said: 'O Allah! Bless my nation in the morning of its Saturday and its Thursday!'

2 عَنْ أَبِی أَیُّوبَ الْخَزازِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِذا قُضِیَتِ الصَّلاةُ فَانْتَشِرُوا فِی الْأَرْضِ وَ ابْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ الصَّلَاةُ یَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ- وَ الِانْتِشَارُ یَوْمَ السَّبْتِ.

📚Al-Faqih, Vol. 1, p. 424

Abu Ayyub al-Khazzaz asked Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) about the saying of Allah Almighty (in Surah al-Jumu'ah, verse 10): 'Then when the prayer is finished, disperse in the land and seek from the bounty of Allah.' The Imam said: 'The prayer is on Friday, and the dispersing is on Saturday!'

3 قَالَ وَ قَالَ السَّبْتُ لِبَنِی هَاشِمٍ وَ الْأَحَدُ لِبَنِی أُمَیَّةَ

📚Al-Faqih, Vol. 1, p. 425

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: 'Saturday is for Banu Hashim and Sunday is for Banu Umayyah!'

4 عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِیَاثٍ النَّخَعِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: مَنْ أَرَادَ سَفَراً فَلْیُسَافِرْ یَوْمَ السَّبْتِ فَلَوْ أَنَّ حَجَراً زَالَ عَنْ جَبَلٍ فِی یَوْمِ سَبْتٍ لَرَدَّهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَی مَکَانِهِ.

📚Al-Faqih, Vol. 2, p. 266

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: 'Whoever intends to travel, let him travel on Saturday, because if a rock is chipped from a mountain on Saturday, Allah Almighty will return it to its place (due to the blessing of this day)!'

5 عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ یَحْیَی الْخَثْعَمِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: لَا تَخْرُجْ یَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِی حَاجَةٍ فَإِذَا کَانَ یَوْمُ السَّبْتِ وَ طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَاخْرُجْ فِی حَاجَتِکَ.

📚Al-Faqih, Vol. 2, p. 267

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: 'Do not go out to seek a need on Friday, and when it is Saturday and the sun has risen, go out for your work and need!'

✅ But the best Saturday for a Shi'a is the following Saturday:

6 عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ يَخْرُجُ الْقَائِمُ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي قُتِلَ فِيهِ الْحُسَيْنُ وَ يَقْطَعُ أَيْدِيَ بَنِي شَيْبَةَ وَ يُعَلِّقُهَا فِي الْكَعْبَةِ

📚Al-Tahdhib, Vol. 4, p. 333

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: 'Imam Baqir (peace be upon him) said: 'Al-Qa'im (may Allah hasten his advent) will emerge on a Saturday that coincides with the Day of Ashura, the same day that Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) was killed, and he will cut off the hands of Banu Shaybah (who are the keepers of the Ka'ba and thieves of the House of Allah) and will hang them on the Ka'ba!'

✅ It is observed that in the above narrations, Saturday is recommended for traveling, going after work and needs, and seeking provision and so on. What is famous among some common people, that they should not postpone tasks until Saturday and not spend money on Saturday morning, has no narrational basis.

✅ To reach the promised Saturday in hadith 6️⃣ faster, let us say frequently and continuously with supplication:

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْر
