You must expiate your oath and resume your friendship with him, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever takes an oath and then sees something better than it, let him do what is better and expiate his oath." It is not permissible for a Muslim to abandon his brother for more than three nights. Swearing by the Mus'haf (Qur'an) is a legally binding oath.
