Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37930 — The words of al-Hasan al-Basri

It is narrated from al-Hasan that he said: When the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), may Allah be pleased with them, met one another, a man would say to his companion: Has it reached you that you will arrive? He would say: Yes. Then the first would ask: Has it also reached you that you will come out of it? He would say: No. At this the first would say: Then what is there to laugh about?
