Sunan Abi Dawud 4916 (Book 43, Hadith 144) #25207
Forgiveness Through Reconciliation

SUMMARY: The gates of Paradise are opened on Mondays and Thursdays, and Allah will forgive those who do not associate anything with Him, except for those who have a dispute with their brother.

Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) 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 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.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ تُفْتَحُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ كُلَّ يَوْمِ اثْنَيْنِ وَخَمِيسٍ فَيُغْفَرُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَيْنِ لِكُلِّ عَبْدٍ لاَ يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا إِلاَّ مَنْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أَخِيهِ شَحْنَاءُ فَيُقَالُ أَنْظِرُوا هَذَيْنِ حَتَّى يَصْطَلِحَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ النَّبِيُّ هَجَرَ بَعْضَ نِسَائِهِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا وَابْنُ عُمَرَ هَجَرَ ابْنًا لَهُ إِلَى أَنْ مَاتَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ إِذَا كَانَتِ الْهِجْرَةُ لِلَّهِ فَلَيْسَ مِنْ هَذَا بِشَىْءٍ وَإِنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ غَطَّى وَجْهَهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of forgiveness in Islam. It is narrated by Abu Hurairah that the Prophet Muhammad said that on Mondays and Thursdays, the gates of paradise are opened to all those who do not associate anything with God, except for people who have disputes between them and their brothers. In this case, they will be given respite until they reconcile. This hadith also mentions how Umar bin Abd Al Aziz covered his face from a man as an example of reconciliation being more important than revenge or punishment in Islam. The main idea behind this hadith is that Muslims should strive to forgive each other even if there is disagreement or dispute between them as it is one way to gain God's mercy and forgiveness in return. Furthermore, it teaches us that we should always try to resolve our differences through peaceful means rather than resorting to violence or revengeful acts which can only lead to further animosity between people instead of bringing them closer together like reconciliation does.
