اُردوEn
443- وبه: أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: ((تفتح أبواب ا لجنة يوم الاثنين ويوم الخميس، فيغفر لكل عبد لا يشرك بالله شيئا إلا رجلا كانت بينه وبين أخيه شحناء، فيقال: أنظروا هذين حتى يصطلحا)).
And with this chain (it is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The gates of Paradise are opened on Monday and Thursday, then every (Muslim) servant who did not associate anything with Allah is forgiven, except for the man who harbors enmity between himself and his brother. Then it is said: Hold both of them back (grant them respite) until they reconcile."
