وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ ‏

‏لا يحل لمؤمن أن يهجر مؤمنًا فوق ثلاث، فإن مرت به ثلاث، فليلقه، وليسلم عليه، فإن رد عليه السلام، فقد اشتركا في الأجر، وإن لم يرد عليه، فقد باء بالإثم، وخرج المسلم من الهجرة‏

‏‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه أبو داود بإسناد حسن قال أبو داود‏:‏ إذا كانت الهجرة لله تعالى، فليس من هذا في شيء‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "It is not permissible for a believer to forsake his (Muslim) brother for more than three days. If three days have passed, he should meet him and greet him; and if other responds to it they will both share the reward; but if he does not respond, he will bear his sin and the one who (has taken the initiative to) greet (the other) will be absolved of the sin of forsaking (one's brother in Faith)." [Abu Dawud].
