(أَوْصَافُ الصَّحَابَةِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ)
(Attributes of the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them)
Hadith 4749
عَن قتادةَ قَالَ: سُئِلَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: هَلْ كَانَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَضْحَكُونَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ وَالْإِيمَانُ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ أَعْظَمُ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ. وَقَالَ بِلَالُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ: أَدْرَكْتُهُمْ يَشْتَدُّونَ بَيْنَ الْأَغْرَاضِ وَيَضْحَكُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ فَإِذَا كَانَ اللَّيْلُ كَانُوا رُهْبَانًا. رَوَاهُ فِي «شَرْحِ السّنة»
Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked: Did the companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) use to laugh? He replied: Yes! And the faith in their hearts was greater than a mountain. And Bilal bin Sa’d (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: They used to practice archery and would laugh looking at each other, and when night fell, they would become monks (i.e., ascetics), engaging in the worship of Allah. Weak, narrated in Sharh al-Sunnah.
