General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab)

Sahih (authentic)by Al-Albani

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَلْتَقِيَانِ فَيُعْرِضُ هَذَا وَيُعْرِضُ هَذَا وَخَيْرُهُمَا الَّذِي يَبْدَأُ بِالسَّلاَمِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Abu Ayyub al-Ansari reported the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) as saying :it is not allowable for a Muslim to keep apart from his brother for more than three days. When they meet, this turns away from him, and that turns away from him. The better of the two is the one who initiates in salutation

Rapporté par Abu Ayyub al-Ansari رضي الله عنه : Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ a dit : « Il n’est pas permis à un musulman de s’éloigner de son frère plus de trois jours. Quand ils se rencontrent, l’un tourne le dos à l’autre et vice versa. Le meilleur des deux est celui qui salue en premier. »
