The Laughing Of Rasoolullah
Ash-Shama'il Al-Muhammadiyah 229
Jarir ibn ‘Abdi’llah said (may Allah be well pleased with him):
“Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) did not shun me from the time when I embraced Islam, and he never saw me without laughing.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، عَنْ بَيَانٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ‏:‏ مَا حَجَبَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتُ، وَلا رَآنِي إِلا ضَحِكَ‏.‏‏.‏

Explanation
comments
The second narration is mentioned because it may be known that by laughing as mentioned in the first hadith, it is meant that Sayyidina Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam smiled. This smile is to show happiness, as to meet one cheerfully makes one feel at ease. I have observed that my elders at times met visitors with such happiness and cheerfulness that the visitor may feel that happiness is being felt by our coming.
