Chapter: Loud laughter
Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 122 — Loud laughter
اُردوEn
الْحَارِثُ : حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ ، ثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ سِيرِينَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ قَالَ : " إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي وَخَلْفَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ أَعْمَى فَوَطِئَ عَلَى خَصَفَةٍ عَلَى رَأْسِ بِئْرٍ فَتَرَدَّى فِي الْبِئْرِ ، فَضَحِكَ الْقَوْمُ ، فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ ضَحِكَ أَنْ يُعِيدَ الْوُضُوءَ " .
It is narrated from Abu al-Aliyah (may Allah have mercy on him): "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was leading the prayer, and his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were (joining the prayer) behind him. Meanwhile a blind man came and stepped on a mat of palm leaves lying over the mouth of a well, and as a result he fell into the well. (Seeing this) some of those praying behind laughed, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered: 'Whoever laughed (in the prayer) is to perform his ablution again.'"
Imam al-Harith narrated this hadith in his Musnad. This narration is mursal, because Abu al-Aliyah is a Successor (Tabi'i) and did not himself see the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); however, according to the Hanafi jurists, such mursal narrations form the basis of the ruling that laughing aloud in prayer breaks ablution.
