Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

DISAPPOINTING FRIENDS

Hadrat lbn ‘Abbas (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated the Prophet (Sal lallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) as saying, “Don’t unnecessarily argue with your brother; do not cut such jokes with him (that hurts him); don’t make him a promise which you break. [Tirmizi]

Hadrat Zaid bin Arqam (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, “When a man makes a promise to his brother to come at an appointed time with the intention of fulfilling it, but is not able to fulfil it and does not come at the appointed time, he is guilty of no sin.” (This means that there was some said valid reason for not coming).
