Hadith #590
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ يَذْكُرُ فِيهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ يَلْتَقِيَانِ فَيَصُدُّ هَذَا وَيَصُدُّ هَذَا وَخَيْرُهُمَا الَّذِي يَبْدَأُ بِالسَّلَامِ
English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) with mention of the Prophet ﷺ that he said: 'It is not permissible for a Muslim to shun his brother for more than three days — they meet and this one turns away and that one turns away. The better of them is the one who begins with the greeting of peace.'
