Hadith on Reconciliation: Good relations better than voluntary worship

Abu Darda reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Shall I not tell you of what is better in degree than extra fasts, prayers, and charity?” They said, “Of course!” The Prophet said, “Reconciliation between people, for ruined relations between people is the razor.”

عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَفْضَلَ مِنْ دَرَجَةِ الصِّيَامِ وَالصَّلَاةِ وَالصَّدَقَةِ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ صَلَاحُ ذَاتِ الْبَيْنِ فَإِنَّ فَسَادَ ذَاتِ الْبَيْنِ هِيَ الْحَالِقَةُ
