Sunan Ibn Majah — Hadith 2353

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " الصُّلْحُ جَائِزٌ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَّا صُلْحًا حَرَّمَ حَلَالًا أَوْ أَحَلَّ حَرَامًا " .
´Kathir bin 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin 'Awf narrated from his father that his grandfather said:` “I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: 'Reconciling between Muslims is permissible, except reconciliation that forbids something that is allowed, or allows something that is forbidden.'”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:

➊
When there is a disagreement between two individuals or groups, the disagreement should not be allowed to intensify; rather, efforts should be made to reconcile them as soon as possible.

➋
Reconciliation means that, in order to end the dispute, one agrees to accept less than one’s due right.
This is a deed of great reward.

➌
No condition can be stipulated in reconciliation that is contrary to the clear ruling of the Shariah.
To stipulate such a condition or to act upon it is forbidden (haram).
