A small advice

The life that we were granted is very short. We cannot live it with bitterness. We must live it with affection.

To have affection, Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) has instructed us to spread Salaam. It is true that Salaam, which is made to a friend a few times only may not make him a close friend, but this amount is sure to decrease the intensity of his hostility. Besides, it is also not surprising that he can become one of your best friends if you continue to maintain relationship with him by making Salaam.
