Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ خَثْعَمٍ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ أَبِي أَدْرَكَتْهُ فَرِيضَةُ اللَّهِ فِي الْحَجِّ وَهُوَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَسْتَوِيَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَعِيرِهِ قَالَ فَحُجِّي عَنْهُ.
English Translation
Abu Ayyub al-Ansari reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'It is not permissible for a man to shun his brother for more than three nights. They meet, and each one turns away from the other. The better of the two is the one who initiates the greeting of salam.'
