Regarding Separation & Severing Ties in the Light of Hadith

Hadith 1: It is reported in Sahih Muslim and Bukhari from Abu Ayub Ansari رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ that Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘It is not halaal upon a person to leave (i.e. stay away from) his brother for more than three days. To the extent that when both of them meet, one turns his face to one side whilst the other turns away in the other direction. The best amongst both of them is the one who precedes in conveying Salaam’.

Hadith 2: Abu Dawud reported on the authority of Hazrat A’isha رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہا that Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘It is not the way of a Muslim to leave another Muslim for more than three days. When you meet him, convey Salaam to him thrice, and if he does not say Salaam, then he is charged with the sin of this as well’.

Hadith 3: Abu Dawud reported on the authority of Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ that Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘It is not halaal upon a true believer, that he should desert (i.e. leave) another Momin for more than three days. If three days have passed, he should meet with him and convey Salaam. If the second person replied to the Salaam, then both are equal in the reward and if he did not reply, then it is he who is charged with its sin, and the person (who conveyed salaam) is released from the sin of leaving him’.

Hadith 4: Abu Dawud reported from Abu Kharash Salmi رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ that he heard Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم saying, ‘One who leaves his brother for an entire year, is equivalent to murdering him’.

Hadith 5: Imam Ahmed and Abu Dawud reported on the authority of Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ that Rasoolullah صلَّی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وسلَّم said, ‘It is not halaal upon a Muslim, to desert his brother for more than three days. So whosoever did this and died, he has gone into hell.’

Ya Allah عزوجل of Mustafa  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم! We make sincere Dua that  blesses us all with strength in Imaan and true love for the Holy Prophet  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلمand for all those who follow that which has been taught and commanded by Him. Amin! (Source: Extracted from Bahaar-e-Shariat Volume 16)
