حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ الصَّوَّافُ الْبَصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي طَارِقٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ يَأْخُذُ عَنِّي هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ فَيَعْمَلُ بِهِنَّ أَوْ يُعَلِّمُ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ بِهِنَّ ؟ " فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : فَقُلْتُ : أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَعَدَّ خَمْسًا ، وَقَالَ : " اتَّقِ الْمَحَارِمَ تَكُنْ أَعْبَدَ النَّاسِ ، وَارْضَ بِمَا قَسَمَ اللَّهُ لَكَ تَكُنْ أَغْنَى النَّاسِ ، وَأَحْسِنْ إِلَى جَارِكَ تَكُنْ مُؤْمِنًا ، وَأَحِبَّ لِلنَّاسِ مَا تُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِكَ تَكُنْ مُسْلِمًا ، وَلَا تُكْثِرِ الضَّحِكَ فَإِنَّ كَثْرَةَ الضَّحِكِ تُمِيتُ الْقَلْبَ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ ، وَالْحَسَنُ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ شَيْئًا هَكَذَا ، رُوِيَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، وَيُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ ، وَعَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، قَالُوا : لَمْ يَسْمَعْ الْحَسَنُ مِنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، وَرَوَى أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ النَّاجِيُّ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ قَوْلَهُ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
´Al-Hasan narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:` "Who will take these statements from me, so that he may act upon them, or teach one who will act upon them?" So Abu Hurairah said: "I said: 'I shall O Messenger of Allah!' So he (s.a.w) took my hand and enumerated five (things), he said: "Be on guard against the unlawful and you shall be the most worshiping among the people, be satisfied with what Allah has alloted for you and you shall be the richest of the people, be kind to your neighbor and you shall be a believer, love for the people what you love for yourself and you shall be a Muslim. And do not laugh too much, for indeed increased laughter kills the heart."

Benefits and Issues:
➊
Our esteemed researcher has declared the mentioned narration weak in its chain of transmission, whereas other scholars have deemed it authentic.
In Musnad Ahmad, there is a narration from Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) with the same meaning, regarding which the researchers of Musnad Ahmad write that this hadith is sound (jayyid), and Shaykh al-Albani has also declared it authentic.
From the discussion of the scholars, the opinion affirming the authenticity of the hadith appears to be closer to correctness. Therefore, despite the mentioned narration being weak in its chain, it is actionable due to other supporting evidences and corroborations.
And Allah knows best.
For further details, see: (al-Mawsu‘ah al-Hadithiyyah, Musnad al-Imam Ahmad: 13/459 and al-Sahihah of al-Albani:
No. 506, 930, 2046)
➋
Just as prayer, fasting, and other acts are included in worship, so too is abstaining from sins and doubtful matters an aspect of worship.
The one who is more devoted in worship is he who keeps both aspects of worship in view.
➌
Not being content with existing blessings and having greed for more does not allow feelings of gratitude to arise in the heart.
For gratitude, it is necessary to consider the importance and benefits of the blessings one already has.
This will create an awareness of Allah’s favors, and the servant will become grateful.
➍
A distinguishing characteristic of the believer is good conduct towards others.
➎
A Muslim is one from whose hand and tongue other Muslims are safe.
Most disputes arise with those with whom one has more interaction, and people often have dealings with their neighbors. Therefore, one who is accustomed to good conduct with neighbors will deal well with everyone, and in this way, he becomes a true Muslim.
➏
Excessive laughter indicates heedlessness, and heedlessness and indifference are signs of a dead heart. When the heart dies, it no longer feels its own benefit or harm in the Hereafter.
Therefore, excessive joking and laughter is a bad thing, although a cheerful demeanor is a good quality.
