1932. Abū Ayyūb Al-Anṣārī narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "It is not lawful for the Muslim to shun his brother for more than three (days); they come fare to fare and this one turns away, and that one turns away. The best of them is the one who initiates the Salām." (Ṣaḥīḥ) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd, Anas, Abū Hurairah, Hishām bin ‘Āmir, and Abū Hind Ad-Dārī. [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
١٩٣٢ - حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، (ح) وَحَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ،» يَلْتَقِيَانِ فَيَصُدُّ هَذَا وَيَصُدُّ هَذَا، وَخَيْرُهُمَا الَّذِي يَبْدَأُ بِالسَّلَامِ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، وَأَنَسٍ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَهِشَامِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، وَأَبِي هِنْدٍ الدَّارِيِّ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Islam is a religion in perfect harmony with nature. As for man, he has the propensity to get incensed every now and then, which at times crosses reasonable limits. It is in consideration of this propensity that a maximum limit of three days has been allowed for Muslims to remain on broken terms with their brothers-in-faith, which is enough period for the tempers to cool down and good sense to prevail. However, a longer period for strained relations is also allowed if deemed necessary for religious considerations.
