Riyad as-Salihin, 1593
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "People's deeds are presented before Allah on Mondays and Thursdays, and then every slave (of Allah) is granted forgiveness (of minor sins) if he does not associate anything with Allah in worship. But the person in whose heart there is rancour against his brother, will not be pardoned. With regard to them, it is said twice: 'Hold these two until they are reconciled'." <b>[Muslim]</b>.
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :
تعرض الأعمال في كل اثنين وخميس، فيغفر الله لكل امرئ لا يشرك بالله شيئا، إلا امرءا كانت بينه وبين أخيه شحناء، فيقول: اتركوا هذين حتى يصطلحا
((رواه مسلم)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) It is impermissible for a Muslim to forsake his brother for more than three days.<br>
2) Spreading the greeting of peace among Muslims is one of the reasons for fostering love and entering Paradise. A Muslim should be keen on applying this prophetic guidance of spreading the greeting of peace among Muslims, and initiate it to those whom he knows and does not know.<br>
3) The occurrence of desertion and enmity among Muslims is an aspect of obeying the devil, and a reason for alienation between the believers.<br>
4) Insistence on desertion and abandonment without a valid Shariah reason is one of the major sins that makes the doer deserving of punishment.
