عن أبي الدرداء رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال :

ألا أخبركم بأفضل من درجة الصيام والصلاة والصدقة ؟  قالوا : بلى ، قال :  صلاح ذات البين ، فإن فساد ذات البين هي الحالقة 

رواه الترمذي ( 2509 ) وقال : ” هذا حديث صحيح ، ويروى عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال :   هي الحالقة ، لا أقول تحلق الشعر ، ولكن تحلق الدين

It was narrated from Abu’d-Dardaa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:

Shall I not tell you something that is better than the status of (voluntary) fasting, prayer and charity?”

They said: “Yes.”

He said: “Reconciling in a case of discord, for the evil of discord is the shaver.

Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (2509), who said: This hadith is Saheeh. It was narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “It is the shaver, and I do not say that it shaves hair, but that it shaves (i.e., destroys) religious commitment

From Quran

إِنَّ عِدَّةَ ٱلشُّهُورِ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًا فِى كِتَـٰبِ ٱللَّهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ مِنْهَآ أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْقَيِّمُ ۚ فَلَا تَظْلِمُوا۟ فِيهِنَّ أَنفُسَكُمْ

التوبة/36 .

Verily, the number of months with Allâh is twelve months (in a year), so was it ordained by Allâh on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are Sacred (i.e. the 1st, the 7th, the 11th and the 12th months of the Islâmic calendar). That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein.

At-Tawbah 9:36
