Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: We were praying with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) during an expedition, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled during the prayer. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) completed his prayer, we said: O Messenger of Allah, we saw you smile. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Mika'il (peace be upon him) passed by me, with traces of dust on his wings, returning from pursuing the people (the enemy). He laughed towards me, so I smiled at him."
We have already narrated in the Book of Purification the report of Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) from Abu Sufyan. It concerns the person who laughed in prayer: he should repeat the prayer but does not need to repeat the ablution.
We have also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), in an incident reported from him: "Whoever among you laughed should repeat the prayer." A similar report is also narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him).
Al-Wazi' bin Nafi' al-Uqayli al-Jazari has been criticised (by the scholars).
