31. Reconciliation
Sahih Ibn Hibban 5091Hasan sahih
«الصُّلْحُ جَائِزٌ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَّا صُلْحًا أَحَلَّ حَرَامًا أَوْ حَرَّمَ حَلَالًا»
✧ Reconciliation is permissible among Muslims, except a reconciliation that makes lawful something unlawful or makes unlawful something lawful.
«أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَفْضَلَ مِنْ دَرَجَةِ الصِّيَامِ وَالْقِيَامِ؟ » قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «إِصْلَاحُ ذَاتِ الْبَيْنِ وَفَسَادُ ذَاتِ الْبَيْنِ هِيَ الْحَالِقَةُ»
✧ He said: 'Shall I not tell you of something that is better than the rank of fasting and praying?' They said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Reconciling between people, for the corruption of relations between people is the shaver.'
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَتَى مَكَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا أَوْ فَعَلَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَتَسَارَعَ إِلَيْهِ الشُّبَّانُ وَبَقِيَ الشُّيُوخُ تَحْتَ الرَّايَاتِ» فَلَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ جَاءُوا يَطْلُبُونَ مَا قَدْ جَعَلَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ الْأَشْيَاخُ لَا تَذْهَبُونَ بِهِ دُونَنَا فَإِنَّا كُنَّا رِدْءًا لَكُمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَصْلِحُوا ذَاتَ بَيْنِكُمْ}
✧ The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Whoever goes to such and such a place or does such and such a thing,' and the young men rushed to it while the old men remained under the banners. When Allah granted them victory, they came seeking what the Prophet ﷺ had assigned to them. The old men said to them: 'Do not take it without us, for we were a support for you.' Then Allah revealed this verse: {So fear Allah and set things right among yourselves}.
