Rebuffing Your Brother

“He who rebuffs his brother (i.e. does not speak with him) for a year, will meet Allah with the load of the sins of Qaabil. Nothing will free him (from the Punishment of Allah) except entry into the flames of the Fire.”
Qaabil was the son of Nabi Aadam (Alayhis salaam). He murdered his brother, Haabil. Since he was the very first person on earth who had committed murder, the sin of every murderer until the Day of Qiyaamah will be loaded on to Qaabil.

According to Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam), the one who rebuffs his brother, severing ties with him, will appear on the Day of Qiyaamah with a load of sins similar to the sins of Qaabil. For him there will
be nothing but purification in the Flames of Jahannam.

Reflect much on this grave warning of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam).
