Abu Ayyub Ansari Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "It is not lawful for a man to alienate from his (Muslim) brother more than three days. (The things came to such a pass that) when they came across one another. One turns his face to a side and the other to another side. (Both cease to speak to one another) And, the better of the two is he who takes precedence in offering salaam (to the other)."¹
