Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1608 — he said: I sat in the gatherings
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ الطَّائِيُّ قَالَ : نَا ابْنُ السِّمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ . عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ : جَالَسْتُ النَّبِيَّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مِائَةِ مَرَّةٍ ، وَكَانَ يَجْلِسُ مَعَ أَصْحَابِهِ يَتَنَاشَدُونَ الشِّعْرَ ، وَرُبَّمَا تَذَاكَرُوا أَمْرَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ، فَيَضْحَكُونَ ، وَيَتَبَسَّمُ النَّبِيُّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- مَعَهُمْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I sat in the gatherings of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) more than a hundred times. He (peace and blessings be upon him) would sit with his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), and they would recite poetry to one another, and sometimes they would talk about the affairs of the Jahiliyyah (the pre-Islamic era) and laugh, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would smile along with them."
