Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Regarding cutting ties between friends and colleagues, Honorable Shaykh, in the hadith, a colleague of mine, who is among the religious people and those who love good, has cut ties with me for many years. How do I contact him to seek his forgiveness and earn the reward?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:, so you must take the initiative to reconcile with your brother. If you were the one who wronged him, you ask him for forgiveness; and if he was the one who wronged you, you forgive him, and you meet and make peace. This is the right of every Muslim over every other Muslim. May Allah guide them all.
The presenter:
May Allah thank you and bless you, Honorable Shaykh, and may Allah reward you with the best reward for us and for the Muslims.
The questioner says: Regarding cutting ties between friends and colleagues, Honorable Shaykh, in the hadith
The best of you is the one who initiates the salam
خيركم الذي يبدأ بالسلامAnswer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
It is not permissible for a believer to boycott his brother for more than three days; 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.
لا يحل لمؤمن أن يهجر أخاه فوق ثلث، يلتقيان فيعرض هذا ويعرض هذا، وخيرهما الذي يبدأ بالسلامThe presenter:
May Allah thank you and bless you, Honorable Shaykh, and may Allah reward you with the best reward for us and for the Muslims.
