Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then the author (may Allah have mercy on him) said in a new chapter explaining another expression of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the boycott of a Muslim.
He said: "Chapter on the one who boycotts his brother for a year"
Then he narrated with his authentic chain of narration.
It was narrated from Abu Khurash al-Sulami that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) say:Sunan Abi Dawud 4915Sahih (Al-Albani) Sunan Abi Dawud 4915Sahih (Al-Albani) And in a narration in Sunan Abu Dawud, which is supported by a narration the author will mention later: Sunan Abi Dawud 4915Sahih (Al-Albani) This is a very great sin.
Therefore, if a person, for some reason, due to a psychological outburst of anger, as we mentioned earlier, boycotts his Muslim brother without right, whereas boycotting with right, you have known, is like the boycott of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) of her cousin Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr. If a Muslim falls into boycotting his Muslim brother without right, he has a respite for the sake of relieving his soul and his anger for only three nights. Then he must restrain his self, not go to extremes, and not exceed three nights.
Then, if a person does not return to his senses and does not come back to his right mind, and enters the third night and the fourth night and the fourth day, and so on, he must hasten to repent, return, and come back, and not continue, lest it become a habit for him, and the year enters the boycott while he is fully immersed in his boycott, continuing in his error. In that case, he is like one who has shed the blood of the one he boycotted and abandoned, if he reaches a year in his boycott.
A second narration from the same first path, but with the wording: He said that a man from the Aslam tribe among the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) informed him, meaning the narrator of the hadith, who is Imran ibn Abi Anas, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), saying: This is like the narration of Abu Dawud. The narration of Abu Dawud says: And this one says: And what is intended is that it is as if he had shed his blood. This is the complete hadith.
And in the gathering were Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir and Abdullah ibn Abi 'Attab, and they said: "We have heard this from him", meaning that the Tabi'i of the hadith, who is here in this hadith Imran ibn Abi Anas, when he narrated this hadith in his gathering, Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir and Abdullah ibn Abi 'Attab were in that gathering. Each of them was a Tabi'i who met more than one of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). These two Tabi'is, Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir and Abdullah ibn Abi 'Attab, when they heard Imran ibn Abi Anas narrating that a man among the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) informed him from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), saying: What did these two Tabi'is, Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir and Abdullah ibn Abi 'Attab, say? "We have heard this from him".
And this is a hadithical benefit, meaning that Imran ibn Abi Anas did not have the exclusive hearing of this hadith from the Aslami Companion, but two other Tabi'is also shared in that, one of them being Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir and the other Abdullah ibn Abi 'Attab.
So, three known Tabi'is are available in the narration of this hadith from this Aslami Companion, that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say:.
He said: "Chapter on the one who boycotts his brother for a year"
Then he narrated with his authentic chain of narration.
It was narrated from Abu Khurash al-Sulami that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) say:
If one keeps apart from his brother for a year, it is like shedding his blood.
من هجر أخاه سنة فهو بسفك دمهIf one keeps apart from his brother for a year, it is like shedding his blood.
من هجر أخاه سنة فهو بسفك دمهIf one keeps apart from his brother for a year, it is like shedding his blood.
من هجر أخاه سنة فهو كسفك دمهTherefore, if a person, for some reason, due to a psychological outburst of anger, as we mentioned earlier, boycotts his Muslim brother without right, whereas boycotting with right, you have known, is like the boycott of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) of her cousin Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr.

The boycott of a believer for a year is like his blood
هجرة المؤمن سنة كدمهLike shedding his blood
كسفك دمهLike his blood
كدمهAnd in the gathering were Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir and Abdullah ibn Abi 'Attab, and they said: "We have heard this from him", meaning that the Tabi'i of the hadith, who is here in this hadith Imran ibn Abi Anas, when he narrated this hadith in his gathering, Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir and Abdullah ibn Abi 'Attab were in that gathering.
