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 ‏"‏ .

English translation
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
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। আবূ আইয়ূব আল-আনসারী (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ কোনো মুসলিমের জন্য তার কোনো ভাইয়ের সঙ্গে (ঝগড়া করে) তিন দিনের বেশী সম্পর্ক ছিন্ন করে থাকা বৈধ নয়। দু’ জন পথিমধ্যে মুখোমুখি হলে একজন এদিকে এবং অপরজন অন্য দিকে মুখ ফিরিয়ে নেয়। এ দু’ জনের মধ্যে যে প্রথমে সালাম দেয় সে-ই উত্তম। সহীহ।
