The Prohibition Of Forsaking Someone For More Than Three Days For No Legitimate Reason
Sahih Muslim
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ - عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ هِجْرَةَ بَعْدَ ثَلاَثٍ " .
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There should be no estranged relations beyond three days.
