4912. It was narrated from Muḥammad bin Hilāl, he said: “My father narrated to me, from Abū Hurairah, that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'It is not permissible for a believer to abandon another believer for more than three (days). When three (days) have passed, if he meets him let him greet him with Salām. If he returns the greeting, then they will share the reward, and if he does not return the greeting, then he will carry the sin.'" Ahmad (one of the narrators) added: "And the one who gives the greeting will have come out of the abandoning." (Da'if)

4912 - حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ السَّرْخَسِيُّ، أَنَّ أَبَا عَامِرٍ، أَخْبَرَهُم حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا يَحِلُّ لِمُؤْمِنٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ مُؤْمِنًا فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ، فَإِنْ مَرَّتْ بِهِ ثَلَاثٌ، فَلْيَلْقَهُ فَلْيُسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِ، فَإِنْ رَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ فَقَدِ اشْتَرَكَا فِي الْأَجْرِ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ فَقَدْ بَاءَ بِالْإِثْمِ» زَادَ أَحْمَدُ «وَخَرَجَ الْمُسَلِّمُ مِنَ الْهِجْرَةِ»
