Ḥadīth: Estrangement of a Muslim | Abū Ayyūb Al-Anṣārī

﷽

Abū Ayyūb Al-Anṣārī رَضِـيَ اللَّـﮧُ عنـﮧُ reported Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ as saying,

❝It is not permissible for a Muslim to shun his brother beyond three nights, the one turning one way and the other turning the other way when they meet; the better of the two is one who is the first to give a greeting.❞

Agreed upon; Ṣaḥīḥ Al-Bukhārī 6237 | Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2560

وعَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ رضي الله عنه: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: لَا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثِ لَيَالٍ، يَلْتَقِيَانِ, فَيُعْرِضُ هَذَا، ويُعْرِضُ هَذَا، وخَيْرُهُمَا الَّذِي يَبْدَأُ بِالسَّلَامِ. مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ.
