Being angry for more than three days is not allowed
Hadith 469
79- وبه: عن عطاء بن يزيد الليثي عن أبى أيوب الأنصاري أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: ”لا يحل لمسلم أن يهجر أخاه فوق ثلاث ليال، يلتقيان فيعرض هذا ويعرض هذا، وخيرهما الذى يبدأ بالسلام.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is not lawful for any Muslim to boycott his brother for more than three nights (such that) when they meet, one turns his face away from the other and the other turns his face away from him. The better of the two is the one who greets the other first."
