The
Holy Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ والہ وسلم set out on Thursday for the Ghazwa of
Tabuk and he used to prefer to set out (i.e. travel) on Thursdays. (Sahih
Bukhari, Hadis 2950, Volume 2, Page 496)
It is narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ that the Noble
Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم has stated, ‘Whoever recites Surah Yasin on
the night before Friday [i.e. Thursday night], forgiveness will be
granted for him.’ (At-Targhib wat-Tarhib, pp. 298, vol. 1, Hadis 4)
