Iṣlāḥ (إصلاح)

Correction, Reconciliation

لَا خَيْرَ فِي كَثِيرٍ مِنْ نَجْوَاهُمْ إِلَّا مَنْ أَمَرَ بِصَدَقَةٍ أَوْ مَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ إِصْلَاحٍ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ ۚ وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ ابْتِغَاءَ مَرْضَاتِ اللَّهِ فَسَوْفَ نُؤْتِيهِ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا {114}

There is no good in most of their secret counsels except of the one who either enjoins charity, or goodness, or ‘إِصْلَاحٍ ’ reconciliation between people; and the one who does this seeking the Pleasure of Allah, so We shall soon Give him a mighty Recompense [4:114]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ حَبِيبٍ الْأَحْوَلِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ صَدَقَةٌ يُحِبُّهَا اللَّهُ إِصْلَاحُ بَيْنِ النَّاسِ إِذَا تَفَاسَدُوا وَ تَقَارُبُ بَيْنِهِمْ إِذَا تَبَاعَدُوا

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Hammad Bin Abu Talha, from Habeeb Al Ahowl who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘A charity which Allah-azwj Loves is reconciling between the people when their (relationship) is spoilt, and bringing them close when they are distant’’.[1]
