Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner was affected by these verses and this trend, and a situation arose between me and a dear friend of mine because he heard from another person that what I said was not correct. So what is the obligatory action regarding this matter?
Answer:
It is obligatory to act on what you have heard from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and to reconcile between you and your brother with whom this severance has occurred. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: They meet, and this one turns away and that one turns away. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 4914Sahih (Al-Albani) They meet, and this one turns away and that one turns away. And the best of them is the one who begins with the salam.
So implement this hadith between you; it is the word of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), who does not speak from desire. Implement it and reconcile between yourselves[Al-Anfal 8:1]. Yes.
The presenter:
Let him ask. Thank you. Oh, this questioner.

So fear Allah and amend that which is between you and obey Allah and His Messenger, if you should be believers.
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَصْلِحُوا ذَاتَ بَيْنِكُمْ وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَThe presenter:
