Title: Did the Prophet (saws) laughed?
Post by: scusemyenglish on August 26, 2016, 01:02:26 PM

I say that because I though the Messengers just smiled.

But I have seen in authentic naration He (saws) laughed

What is the good advice?

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنِي مَنْصُورٌ، وَسُلَيْمَانُ الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ جَاءَ يَهُودِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّمَوَاتِ عَلَى إِصْبَعٍ وَالأَرَضِينَ عَلَى إِصْبَعٍ وَالْجِبَالَ عَلَى إِصْبَعٍ وَالْخَلاَئِقَ عَلَى إِصْبَعٍ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَنَا الْمَلِكُ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏(‏ومَا قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ ‏)‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏

Yes, Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم used to laugh.

There are three things:

1) Tabassum.

2) Dhahk.

3) Qahqahah.

Tabassum is to smile; Dhahk is laughter without sound; Qahqahah is audible laughter (like chuckling). When the Ahaadeeth mention the laughter of Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم, they say "Dhahika". From this we learn that the laughter of Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم was quiet and not loud.
