الهِجرانُ Desertion

1ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): هَجرُ المُسلِمِ أخاهُ كَسَفكِ دَمِهِ.

1– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘A Muslim’s desertion of his brother is like shedding his blood.’[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 24789]
 

2ـ رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): يا أبا ذرٍّ، إيّاكَ وهِجرانَ أخِيكَ ؛ فإنَّ العَمَلَ لا يُتَقَبَّلُ مِن الهِجرانِ.

2– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘O Abu Dharr, beware of deserting your brother, for deeds are not accepted from desertion.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 77, p. 89, no. 3]
 

3ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لا يَزالُ إبليسُ فَرِحا ما اهتَجرَ المُسلِمانِ، فإذا التَقَيا اصطَكَّت رُكبَتاهُ وتَخَلّعَت أوصالُهُ، ونادَى يا وَيلَهُ، ما لَقِيَ مِن الثُّبُورِ ؟!

3– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Satan continues to be happy as long as two Muslims forsake each other, and when they reconcile again his knees tremble and his joints break apart, and he screams out 'Woe' all the way to perdition.’[al-Kafi, v. 2, p. 346, no. 7]
 

4ـ عن الإمامِ الصّادقِ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لا يَفتَرِقُ رجُلانِ علَى الهِجرانِ إلّا استَوجَبَ أحَدُهُما البَراءةَ واللَّعنَةَ، ورُبَّما استَحقَّ ذلكَ كِلاهُما، فقالَ لَهُ مُعَتّبٌ: جَعَلَنيَ اللّه‏ُ فِداكَ، هذا الظّالِمُ فما بالُ المَظلومِ؟
قالَ: لأ نَّهُ لا يَدعو أخاهُ إلى صِلَتِهِ ولا يَتَغامَسُ لَهُ عَن كَلامِهِ، سَمِعتُ أبي يقولُ: إذا تَنازَعَ اثنانِ فَعازَّ أحَدُهُما الآخَرَ فلْيَرجِعِ المَظلومُ إلى صاحِبِهِ حتّى يَقولَ لِصاحِبِهِ: أي أخِي أنا الظّالِمُ، حتّى يَقطَعَ الهِجرانَ بَينَهُ وبَينَ صاحِبِهِ، فإنّ اللّه‏َ تبارَكَ وتعالى حَكَمٌ عَدلٌ يأخُذُ للمَظلومِ مِن الظّالِمِ .

4– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘No sooner do two men who forsake each other part than one of them becomes deserving of disassociation [by Allah] and curse, and both of them may become deserving of it’. Mu`aattab said to him, ‘May Allah sacrifice me for your sake, this is for the one who wronged, but what about the one who was wronged?’ He said, ‘Because he does not call his brother to reconciliation and does not forgive him for what he said. I heard my father say, ‘When two people dispute with each other and one overcomes the other, the one who has been wronged should return to his friend and says to him 'O brother I am the one at fault', to cut the desertion between them, for Allah Almighty is a Just Judge, and will take the right of the wronged one from the wronger.’[al-Kafi, v. 2, p. 344, no. 1]
