حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَرْوَانَ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْعُثْمَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لأُمَّتِي فِي بُكُورِهَا يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ " .

Abu Marwan Muhammad ibn Uthman al-Uthmani narrated to us; Muhammad ibn Maymun al-Madani narrated to us, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi al-Zinad, from his father, from al-Araj, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “O Allah, bless my community’s early start on Thursday.”

قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لأُمَّتِي فِي بُكُورِهَا يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ " .
Bukūr refers to setting out or undertaking activity early in the morning; this report specifies Thursday.
Does “early start on Thursday” convey bukūr naturally while retaining the weekday?
