Aishah said: The camel of Safiyyah daughter of Huyayy was fatigued, and Zainab had a surplus mount. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Zainab: Give her the camel. She said: Should I give to that Jewess? Thereupon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became angry and kept away from her during Dhu al-Hijjah, Muharram, and a part of Safar.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues: ➊ Your severing of relations was due to the fact that Hazrat Zaynab radi Allahu anha did not observe Islamic etiquette.
➋ It is forbidden (haram) to call a Muslim a Jew or disbeliever (kafir) on the basis of his previous religion.
➌ To reproach someone without reason is also a major flaw and a sin.
➍ Not giving a needed item to your Muslim brother without excuse is bad character; this issue has been specifically mentioned in Surah Al-Ma'un.
➎ If the severing of relations is on a Shari'ah basis, then it is permissible for it to last more than three days.
