Shunning a Muslim for more than three days

ahmad:18922al-Walīd b. Muslim > al-Awzāʿī > al-Zuhrī > al-Ṭufayl b. al-Ḥārith

[AI] He was a man from Azd Shanu'ah and was a brother of Aisha through her mother, Umm Ruman. He then mentioned the hadith, so he sought help against her from Miswar ibn Makhrama and Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Aswad ibn Abd Yaghuth. The two of them asked permission to enter upon her, and she gave them permission. They spoke to her and adjured her by Allah ﷻ, by kinship, and by the saying of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: "It is not lawful for a Muslim man to shun his brother for more than three."

أحمد:١٨٩٢٢حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنِ الطُّفَيْلِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ

وَكَانَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَزْدِ شَنُوءَةَ وَكَانَ أَخًا لِعَائِشَةَ لِأُمِّهَا أُمِّ رُومَانَ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، فَاسْتَعَانَ عَلَيْهَا بِالْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ يَغُوثَ، فَاسْتَأْذَنَا عَلَيْهَا، فَأَذِنَتْ لَهُمَا، فَكَلَّمَاهَا وَنَاشَدَاهَا اللهَ وَالْقَرَابَةَ وَقَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ: «لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَهْجُرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ».
