حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّي ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَثْمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُنِيبِ يَعْنِي الْمَدَنِيَّ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لَا يَكُونُ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ مُسْلِمًا فَوْقَ ثَلَاثَةٍ فَإِذَا لَقِيَهُ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ لَا يَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ فَقَدْ بَاءَ بِإِثْمِهِ " .
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: It is not right for a Muslim to keep apart from another Muslim for more than three days. Then when he meets him and gives three salutations, receiving during that time no response, the other bears his sin.
Brief Explanation
1؎ : If the pronoun in «إثمه» refers to the one who does not return the greeting of peace («لا يرد عليه»), then the meaning will be that the one who offered the greeting is absolved of the sin of severing ties, and the one who did not return the greeting will return bearing the sin of severing ties. And if the pronoun in «إثمه» refers to the one who offered the greeting, then the meaning will be that he will return bearing both his own sin and that of the one who offered the greeting.
