Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) reports about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said to Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him): "Why is it that I have never seen Mika'il laughing?" Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him) replied: "Sayyiduna Mika'il (peace be upon him) has never laughed since Hell was created."
Ahmad recorded it as a narration of Isma'il bin Ayyash from the people of Madinah, and this narration is da'if (weak); the remaining narrators of this narration are thiqat (trustworthy). (Allamah Haythami says:) I say: The narration of Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) about the depth of Hell will come further on.
