عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللّهِ صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «لا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ ثَلاثٍ، فَمَنْ هَجَرَ فَوْقَ ثَلاثٍ فَمَاتَ دَخَلَ النَّارَ«. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُودَ بِإِسْنَادٍ عَلَى شَرْطِ الْبُخَارِيِّ وَمُسْلِمٍ.
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is not lawful for a Muslim to shun his brother for more than three (days); whoever shuns (him) for more than three (days) and dies will enter the Fire." Reported by Abu Dawud with a chain meeting the conditions of al-Bukhari and Muslim.
