Answer:
This is among the confirmed recommended practices.
So fear Allah and amend that which is between youفَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَصْلِحُوا ذَاتَ بَيْنِكُمْ
[Al-Anfal 8:1]
No good is there in much of their private conversation, except for those who enjoin charity or that which is right or conciliation between peopleلَّا خَيْرَ فِي كَثِيرٍ مِّن نَّجْوَاهُمْ إِلَّا مَنْ أَمَرَ بِصَدَقَةٍ أَوْ مَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ إِصْلَاحٍ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ
[An-Nisa 4:114]

Reconciling between two people is a charityتعدل بين اثنين صدقة
