حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ الْعَطَّارُ، وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ لاَ تَقَاطَعُوا وَلاَ تَدَابَرُوا وَلاَ تَبَاغَضُوا وَلاَ تَحَاسَدُوا وَكُونُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِخْوَانًا وَلاَ يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ ثَلاَثٍ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ وَالزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ وَابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ‏.‏

Translation

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

‘Abd al-Jabbar ibn al-‘Ala’ al-‘Attar and Sa‘id ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman narrated to us. They said: Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from Anas, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Do not sever ties with one another, turn your backs on one another, hate one another, or envy one another. Be, servants of Allah, brothers. It is not lawful for a Muslim to shun his brother for more than three days.”

Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith is hasan sahih. There are also reports on this topic from Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, al-Zubayr ibn al-‘Awwam, Ibn Mas‘ud, and Abu Hurayrah.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed

  • The Arabic distinguishes severing relations, turning away, hatred, and envy as four separate prohibitions.

  • قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ لاَ تَقَاطَعُوا وَلاَ تَدَابَرُوا وَلاَ تَبَاغَضُوا وَلاَ تَحَاسَدُوا وَكُونُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِخْوَانًا وَلاَ يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ ثَلاَثٍ ‏" ‏ ‏.

    The source separately prohibits severing relations, turning away, hatred, and envy before commanding brotherhood.

    Should the four prohibitions remain distinct in the English wording?

  • حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ الْعَطَّارُ،

    The English witness omits the Arabic transmitters before Anas.

    Should the chain be preserved in the translated record?

  • ‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.

    The Arabic gives a hasan sahih grade and lists four additional related narrators, all omitted from the witness.

    Should these compiler notes be included?
