The reciter: He (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Chapter on the prohibition of harboring hatred, severing ties, and turning away from one another. From Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said
Do not harbour grudge against one another, nor jealousy, nor enmity; and do not show your backs to one another; and become as fellow brothers and slaves of Allah. It is not lawful for a Muslim to avoid speaking with his brother beyond three days. لا تباغضوا ولا تحاسدوا ولا تدابروا ولا تقاطعوا وكونوا عباد الله إخوانا ولا يحل لمسلم أن يهجر أخاه فوق ثلاث

The gates of Paradise are not opened but on two days, Monday and Thursday. and then every servant (of Allah) is granted pardon who does not associate anything with Allah except the person in whose (heart) there is rancour against his brother. And it would be said: Look towards both of them until there is reconciliation تفتح أبواب الجنة يوم الاثنين والخميس فيغفر لكل عبد لا يشرك بالله شيئا إلا رجلا كانت بينه وبين أخيه شحناء فيقال أنظروا هذين حتى يصطلحا

The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned the verses indicating the prohibition of severing ties, turning away from one another, and harboring hatred.
He mentioned hadiths, including the hadith of Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said
Do not harbor hatred, do not engage in *najash*, do not turn away from one another, do not sever ties. لا تباغضوا ولا تناجشوا ولا تدابروا ولا تقاطعوا
Sunan al-Bayhaqi 7:24
These are four things the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited.
The first is harboring hatred. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited it. So if hatred for a person arises in your heart, try to remove it from your heart and look at his good qualities until they erase his bad ones. It reached 5 and 9. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided to this when he said
A believer does not separate a believing woman. لا يفرق مؤمنا مؤمنة
meaning a believer does not hate a believer, meaning his wife, his sister, and his mother, but here "wife" is intended
A believer does not hate a believing woman. If he dislikes a trait in her, he is pleased with another trait. لا يفرك مؤمن مؤمنة إن سخط منها خلقا رضي منها خلقا آخرا
This means balancing between good and bad deeds. Some people look at the bad deeds, may Allah protect us, and judge by them while forgetting the good deeds. Some people look at the good deeds and forget the bad ones. Justice is for a person to compare this with that and to lean toward forgiveness, pardon, and overlooking faults. For Allah the Exalted loves those who pardon people. So if you find hatred for a person in your heart, try to remove this hatred and remind yourself of his good qualities. Perhaps there is bad conduct or bad treatment between you and him, but he is a noble, good man who is kind to people, loves good, and strives for it. Remember these good qualities so that the bad treatment he gives you is diminished and submerged on the side of the good qualities. Also, do not engage in *najash* (bidding up the price). *Najash* is increasing the price without the intention of buying. For example, you see an item and it is brought to you, and it is called out in the market. A man bids on it, say, for one hundred riyals, so you bid against him, saying one hundred and ten, one hundred and ten, and you do not want it, but you want to increase the price for the buyer. This is forbidden aggression. But if you saw the item was cheap at one hundred and you increased it to one hundred and ten, saying one hundred and ten, and you did not have the intention to buy it at first, but you found it cheap and increased the bid until you reached a price where you saw no benefit for yourself, so you left it, there is no harm in that. But if your intention is aggression against the buyer, to annoy him, and to increase the price for him, that is *najash*. And if someone increases the price of an item to benefit the seller, he does not know the buyer and there is nothing between them, but he wants the seller to benefit, so he increases the price while he does not want to buy, but only wants to benefit the seller. The item is sold for one hundred, so he says one hundred and ten, not to harm the buyer, because he does not know him and there is nothing between them, but to benefit the seller. This is also forbidden, not permissible, and it is of the *najash* that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited.
Also, if he intends both things, meaning he wants to benefit the seller and harm the buyer, this is also forbidden, and it is of the *najash* that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited.
Do not turn away from one another ولا تدابروا
The speech on this has preceded.
Do not sever ties. ولا تقاطعوا
Meaning a brother does not sever ties with his brother, but he maintains ties according to custom and according to the reason that calls for connection. For the relative, you maintain ties because of his kinship; the neighbor, because of his neighborliness; the companion, because of his companionship, and so on. Do not sever ties with your brother; maintain ties with him. For Allah the Exalted loves those who maintain ties, those who maintain their kin.
It is not lawful for anyone to cut himself off from his Muslim brother for more than three ولا يحل لأحد أن يهجر أخاه فوق ثلاث
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 399
Boycotting is a form of severing ties. Meaning he meets him and does not greet him. In the sacred precinct, it is forbidden, except that the Lawgiver, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), granted you a dispensation of three days. Because a person may have something in his heart against one whom he boycotts. He has a dispensation of three days. After the three days, it is not permissible for him to meet him and not greet him, except if he is in disobedience. If we boycott him and he leaves it, we boycott him for the sake of benefit, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) boycotted the three who were left behind and lagged behind in the expedition to Tabuk. Otherwise, the principle is that boycotting is forbidden. As for the statement of some scholars and their generalization that one who openly commits sin is boycotted, this is subject to consideration. So we have: boycotting up to three days is permissible, beyond three days it is forbidden, except for a benefit. And success is from Allah.
