Narrated Abu Aiyub:
The Prophet said, "It is not lawful for a Muslim to desert (not to speak to) his brother Muslim for
more than three days while meeting, one turns his face to one side and the other turns his face to the
other side. Lo! The better of the two is the one who starts greeting the other."
