عن عمرو بن عوف المزني رضي الله تعالى عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم قال : « الصلح جائز بين المسلمين إلا صلحا حرم حلالا أو أحل حراما والمسلمون على شروطهم إلا شرطا حرم حلالا أو أحل حراما ». رواه الترمذي وصححه وأنكروا عليه لأنه من رواية كثير بن عبد الله بن عمرو بن عوف وهو ضعيف وكأنه اعتبره بكثرة طرقه. وقد صححه ابن حبان من حديث أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه.
Narrated 'Amr bin 'Auf al-Muzani (RA): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Reconciliation is permissible between Muslims, except one which makes unlawful something which is lawful, or makes lawful something which is unlawful; and Muslims must abide by their conditions (which they have made), except for a condition which makes unlawful something which is lawful, or makes lawful something which is unlawful." [at-Tirmidhi reported it and graded it Sahih (authentic)]. However, the Hadith scholars criticized him (for grading this Hadith as Sahih) because the narration of Kathir bin 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin 'Auf is weak. It is as though at-Tirmidhi considered it (reliable) due to its many chains of narration. Ibn Hibban declared the aforesaid Hadith to be Sahih (authentic) from the narration of Abu Hurairah (RA).

Takhrij:
«أخرجه الترمذي، الأحكام، باب ما ذكر عن رسول الله صلي الله عليه وسلم في الصلح بين الناس، حديث:1352، وسنده ضعيف جدًا ولكن له شواهد كثيرة عند أبي داود وابن حبان وغيرهما.* حديث أبي هريرة أخرجه ابن حبان (الموارد)، حديث:1199، وأبوداود، القضاء، حديث:3594، «وسنده حسن».»©Explanation:
➊ In this hadith, the mention of Muslims is because the addressees and those legally responsible for the rulings of Islamic law (Shari‘ah) are only Muslims. Otherwise, as far as reconciliation (sulh) is concerned, it is permissible with both groups of the People of the Book (Ahl al-Kitab), i.e., Jews and Christians, as well as with polytheists (mushrikin) and atheists (dahriyyah).
➋ The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) himself made reconciliation with the People of the Book as well. In the Constitution of Madinah (Mithaq Madinah), reconciliation with the Jews of Madinah is established; reconciliation with the Christians of Najran is established; and in the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah (Sulh Hudaybiyyah), he made reconciliation with the polytheists of Makkah.
➌ The rule and general principle for reconciliation is that it should not be contrary to any ruling of Islamic law (Shari‘ah) such that something unlawful (haram) becomes lawful (halal) or something lawful becomes unlawful.

«حضرت عمرو بن عوف رضی اللہ عنہ » ‘Amr ibn ‘Awf ibn Zayd ibn Malhah al-Muzani (with a dammah on the “mim” of Muzani and a fathah on the “za”). His kunyah is Abu ‘Abdullah. He is the ancestor of Kathir ibn ‘Abdullah. He was among the early Muslims. He was present at Badr. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) appointed him as the governor (‘amil) of the sanctuary of Madinah. He used to weep excessively out of fear of Allah. He passed away during the era of Mu‘awiyah (radi Allahu anhu).
«کثیر بن عبداللہ» Imam Shafi‘i and Imam Abu Dawud (rahimahum Allah) have said regarding him: He is a great liar and a pillar of falsehood (kadhdhab rukn). Imam Ahmad (rahimahullah) called him “munkar al-hadith” and said he has no standing. Imam Nasa’i (rahimahullah) said he is not trustworthy (thiqah). Ibn Hibban (rahimahullah) said he narrated a fabricated version (mawdu‘ nuskha) from his father and grandfather’s chain.
