حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَلْتَقِيَانِ فَيُعْرِضُ هَذَا وَيُعْرِضُ هَذَا وَخَيْرُهُمَا الَّذِي يَبْدَأُ بِالسَّلَامِ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: it is not allowable for a Muslim to keep apart from his brother for more than three days. When they meet, this turns away from him, and that turns away from him. The better of the two is the one who initiates in salutation.

আবূ আইয়ূব আল-আনসারী (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ কোনো মুসলিমের জন্য তার কোনো ভাইয়ের সঙ্গে (ঝগড়া করে) তিন দিনের বেশী সম্পর্ক ছিন্ন করে থাকা বৈধ নয়। দু’ জন পথিমধ্যে মুখোমুখি হলে একজন এদিকে এবং অপরজন অন্য দিকে মুখ ফিরিয়ে নেয়। এ দু’ জনের মধ্যে যে প্রথমে সালাম দেয় সে-ই উত্তম।[1] সহীহ।

ابوایوب انصاری رضی اللہ عنہ سے روایت ہے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: کسی مسلمان کے لیے درست نہیں کہ وہ اپنے بھائی کو تین دن سے زیادہ چھوڑے رکھے کہ وہ دونوں ملیں تو یہ منہ پھیر لے، اور وہ منہ پھیر لے، اور ان دونوں میں بہتر وہ ہے جو سلام میں پہل کرے ۱؎ ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Maslamah] dari [Malik] dari [Ibnu Syihab] dari [Atha bin Yazid Al Laitsi] dari [Abu Ayyub Al Anshari] bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Tidak halal bagi seorang muslim mendiamkan saudaranya lebih dari tiga hari; saat keduanya bertemu yang ini berpaling dan yang lain juga berpaling. Yang paling baik dari keduanya adalah yang memulai mengucapkan salam

Ebu Eyyûb el-Ensarî'den (rivayet edildiğine göre); Rasûlullah (s.a.v.) şöyle buyurmuştur: "Hiçbir müslümana kardeşini -karşılaştıklarında biri yüzünü bir tarafa, diğeri Öbür tarafa çevirecek derecede- üç günden fazla terk etmesi helâl değildir. Hayırlıları ise daha önce selâm verenleridir.” Tahric edenler: Buhari. el-Edeb'ül-Müfred, I. 416; Müslim, birr

What it means

Meaning of the Hadīth: It is not lawful for the Muslim to abandon his Muslim brother more than three days, if the abandonment is for some personal reason or for some worldly affair. However, if it is done for a valid religious purpose, it will be permissible or perhaps obligatory, such as abandoning heretic innovators and blatant sinners who defiantly disobey Allah if they do not repent.

Whoever does this (abandoning a fellow Muslim for more than three days) then dies while insisting on his sin and does not repent before he dies will enter Hellfire. It is known that whoever deserves Hellfire from among the Muslims for a sin that he committed and that Allah did not pardon, then if he enters it, he will eventually come out and will not remain therein eternally, except for the disbelievers, who have no chances of coming out of the Hellfire.
