Riyad al-SalihinAl-Nawawi

the prohibition is directed at the one who utters that statement out of self-admiration, belittling the people and deeming himself above them; this is what is forbidden. As for the person who says it because he sees people falling short in their religious duties, and he says it out of grief for them and for the religion itself, there is no harm in that.

I have clarified the matter further in my book al-Adhkār.

280 – Chapter: The prohibition of Muslims shunning one another for more than three days, except when the one shunned is an innovator, openly sinful, or the like.

Allah the Exalted says: “The believers are but brothers, so make peace between your brothers.” (Q 49:10)

And He says: “Do not cooperate in sin and aggression.” (Q 5:2)

1599 – Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Do not sever relations, do not turn your backs on one another, do not hate one another, and do not envy one another; rather, be servants of Allah, brothers. It is not lawful for a Muslim to shun his brother for more than three days.” Agreed upon.

1600 – Abū Ayyūb (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “It is not lawful for a Muslim to shun his brother for more than three nights: they meet and this one turns away and that one turns away, and the better of the two is the one who initiates the greeting of peace.” Agreed upon.

1601 – Abū Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stated, “Deeds are presented every Monday and Thursday, and Allah forgives every person who associates nothing with Him—except the one between whom and his brother there is enmity. Concerning them He says: ‘Leave these two until they reconcile.’” Recorded by Muslim.

1602 – Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say, “Indeed…”

النَّهْيُ لِمَنْ قَالَ ذَلِكَ عَجَبًا بِنَفْسِهِ ، وَتَصَاغُرًا لِلنَّاسِ ، وَارْتِفَاعًا عَلَيْهِمْ ، فَهَذَا هُوَ الْحَرَامُ ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ قَالَ لِمَا يَرَى فِي النَّاسِ مِنْ نَقْصٍ فِي أَمْرِ دِينِهِمْ ، وَقَالَهُ تَحَزُّنًا عَلَيْهِمْ ، وَعَلَى الدِّينِ ، فَلَا بَأْسَ بِهِ . هَكَذَا فَسَّرَهُ الْعُلَمَاءُ وَفَصَّلُوهُ ، وَمِمَّنْ قَالَهُ مِنَ الْأَئِمَّةِ الْأَعْلَامِ : مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ ، وَالْخَطَّابِيُّ ، وَالْحُمَيْدِيُّ وَآخَرُونَ ، وَقَدْ أَوْضَحْتُهُ فِي كِتَابِ : « الْأَذْكَارُ » . ٢٨٠ - باب تحريم الهجران بين المسلمين فوق ثلاثة أيام إلا لبدعة في المهجور ، أو تظاهر بفسق أو نحو ذلك قال اللَّهُ تعالى : ﴿ إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْكُمْ ﴾ [ سورة الحجرات الآية : ١٠ ] . وقال تعالى : ﴿ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ ﴾ [ سورة المائدة الآية : ٢ ] . ١٥٩٩ - وعن أنس رضي اللَّه عنه قال : قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ : « لَا تَقَاطَعُوا ، وَلَا تَدَابَرُوا ، وَلَا تَبَاغَضُوا ، وَلَا تَحَاسَدُوا ، وَكُونُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِخْوَانًا ، وَلَا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ » متفق عليه . ١٦٠٠ - وعن أبي أيوب رضي اللَّه عنه ، أن رسول اللَّه ﷺ قال : « لَا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثِ لَيَالٍ : يَلْتَقِيَانِ ، فَيَعْرِضُ هَذَا ، وَيَعْرِضُ هَذَا ، وَخَيْرُهُمَا الَّذِي يَبْدَأُ بِالسَّلَامِ » متفق عليه . ١٦٠١ - وعن أبي هريرة رضي اللَّه عنه قال : قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ : « تُعْرَضُ الْأَعْمَالُ فِي كُلِّ اثْنَيْنِ وَخَمِيسٍ ، فَيَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا ، إِلَّا امْرَأً كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أَخِيهِ شَحْنَاءُ ، فَيَقُولُ : أَتْرُكُوا هَذَيْنِ حَتَّى يَصْطَلِحَا » رواه مسلم . ١٦٠٢ - وعن جابر رضي اللَّه عنه قال : سمعت رسول اللَّه ﷺ يقول : « إِنَّ
