2023. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The gates of Paradise are opened on Monday and Thursday. In them, (will enter) whoever has not associated anything with Allāh will be forgiven, except for the two who shun each other, (about whom) it is said: 'Return these two until they make amends.'" (Sahīh)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh. Some narrated the Hadīth: "Leave these two until they make amends." He said: And the meaning of Mutahājirain is the two who have forsaken each other. This
is the same as what is reported from the Prophet ﷺ saying: "It is not lawful for the Muslim to shun his brother beyond three days."

Commentary
Mutual bickering that propels a person to sever relations with his brother, for the interests of the world, is so serious a crime before Allāh, that it may deprive the person concerned of His mercy and, consequently, leave his sins to remain unrequited and unforgiven. However, out of consideration for man's natural inclination in such matters, a concession of three days has been allowed for him within which he may ponder over the matter and quiet his frayed tempers.
