The : "Nothing began on Wednesday but it was completed," has no basis. And the Hadith: "Wednesday is a day of continuous misfortune," was narrated by Al-Tabarani in Al-Awsat and Al-Bayhaqi in his Sunan, and its chain of narration includes Ibrahim bin Abi Hayyah, who is abandoned and his Hadith is rejected. What was narrated with the wording: "The last Wednesday of the month is a day of continuous misfortune," is fabricated.
