باب استحباب صوم الاثنين والخميس
عن أَبي قَتَادَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّه عنْهُ ، أَنَّ رسولَ اللَّهِ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم سُئِلَ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ الاثْنَيْنِ فقالَ : « ذلكَ يَوْمٌ وُلِدْتُ فِيهِ ، وَيَوْمٌ بُعِثْتُ ، أَوْ أُنزِلَ عليَّ فِيهِ » رواه مسلمٌ .

The Desirability of Observing Saum (Fasting) on Monday and Thursday
Abu Qatadah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was asked about fasting on Mondays. He said, "That is the day on which I was born and the day on which I received Revelation."[Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith points out the excellence of fasting on Mondays. The reason behind this, as is stated in the Hadith, is that the Prophet (PBUH) was born on it and that it was the day on which he received the first Revelation. It coincided with the 17th Ramadan as well.
