It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed a man says something by which he intends no evil, (saying it) only to make the people laugh, and because of it (that word) he falls (down) a distance farther than the sky."
This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) only with this chain; Ghassan (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it.
