Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by some of his companions who were laughing. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much. Then Sayyiduna Jibreel came to him and said: Allah Almighty has said to you: Why are you making My servants despair? The narrator states: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went back to those people and said: Remain steadfast and receive glad tidings.
