حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ تُفْتَحُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ کُلَّ يَوْمِ اثْنَيْنِ وَخَمِيسٍ فَيُغْفَرُ فِي ذَلِکَ الْيَوْمَيْنِ لِکُلِّ عَبْدٍ لَا يُشْرِکُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا إِلَّا مَنْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أَخِيهِ شَحْنَائُ فَيُقَالُ أَنْظِرُوا هَذَيْنِ حَتَّی يَصْطَلِحَا قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَجَرَ بَعْضَ نِسَائِهِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا وَابْنُ عُمَرَ هَجَرَ ابْنًا لَهُ إِلَی أَنْ مَاتَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد إِذَا کَانَتْ الْهِجْرَةُ لِلَّهِ فَلَيْسَ مِنْ هَذَا بِشَيْئٍ وَإِنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ غَطَّی وَجْهَهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4916
Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: The gates of Paradise are opened on Mondays and Thursdays, and forgiveness is granted to every man who does not associate anything with Allah, except for a man between whom and his brother there is rancor. Command will be given that they should be given respite till they conciliate. Abu Dawud said: The Prophet ﷺ kept apart from some of his wives for forty days, and Ibn Umar kept apart from his son till he died. Abu Dawud said: If keeping apart is meant for the sake of Allah, then it has no concern with it. Umar bin Abd al-Aziz covered his face from a man.
