<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.
