[Machine] He is called Abu Umair, it is said that the Prophet ﷺ used to joke with him. One day, when he came to joke with him, he found him sad. He said, "Why do I see Abu Umair sad?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, his little bird that he used to play with has died." So he called out to him, "O Abu Umair, what did the little bird do?"
يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو عُمَيْرٍ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رُبَّمَا يُمَازِحُهُ إِذَا جَاءَ فَدَخَلَ يَوْمًا يُمَازِحُهُ فَوَجَدَهُ حَزِينًا فَقَالَ مَا لِي أَرَى أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ حَزِينًا ؟ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَاتَ نُغَيْرُهُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَلْعَبُ بِهِ فَجَعَلَ يُنَادِيهِ يَا أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ؟
A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah! give me a mount. The Prophet ﷺ said: We shall give you a she-camel's child to ride on. He said: What shall I do with a she-camel's child? The Prophet ﷺ replied: Do any others than she-camels give birth to camels? (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4998)
أَنَّ رَجُلًا اسْتَحْمَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّا حَامِلُوكَ عَلَى وَلَدِ نَاقَةٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا أَصْنَعُ بِوَلَدِ نَاقَةٍ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهَلْ تَلِدُ الْإِبِلَ إِلَّا النُّوقُ
The Prophet ﷺ addressed me as: O you with the two ears. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5002)
قَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَا ذَا الْأُذُنَيْنِ
[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the Battle of Tabuk, and he was in a secluded place made of adobe. I sat in the courtyard of the secluded place and greeted him. He returned the greeting and said, "Enter, O Awf!" So I asked, "Should I eat all of it or just part of it?" He said, "Eat all of it." So I entered.
أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ وَهُوَ فِي خِبَاءٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ فَجَلَسْتُ بِفِنَاءِ الْخِبَاءِ فَسَلَّمْتُ فَرَدَّ وَقَالَ ادْخُلْ يَا عَوْفُ فَقُلْتُ أَكُلِّي أَمْ بَعْضِي؟ قَالَ كُلُّكَ فَدَخَلْتُ 21171 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أَنْبَأَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَهْ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ثنا الْوَلِيدُ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَاتِكَةِ قَالَ إِنَّمَا قَالَ كُلِّي مِنْ صِغَرِ الْقُبَّةِ
[Machine] And the Prophet ﷺ loved him and he was diligent. So one day, the Prophet ﷺ came to him while he was selling his merchandise and embraced him from behind without him seeing. He asked, "Who sent me this?" So he turned around and recognized the Prophet ﷺ , and he continued to cling to the Prophet's chest when he recognized him. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Who will buy this slave?" He replied, "O Messenger of Allah, then by Allah, you will find me bankrupt." The Prophet ﷺ said, "But in the sight of Allah, you are not bankrupt." He continued to say, "But in the sight of Allah, you are valuable." Our sheikh did not confirm it, and there is disagreement about it. It was said that it was a belt, and it was said that it was forbidden. Abd al-Ghani al-Hafiz said it is forbidden with the letter 'raa' (R).
وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُحِبُّهُ وَكَانَ دَمِيمًا فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمًا وَهُوَ يَبِيعُ مَتَاعَهُ فَاحْتَضَنَهُ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَهُوَ لَا يُبْصِرُهُ فَقَالَ أَرْسِلْنِي مَنْ هَذَا؟ فَالْتَفَتَ فَعَرَفَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ لَا يَأْلُو مَا أَلْزَقَ ظَهْرَهُ بِصَدْرِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حِينَ عَرَفَهُ وَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ يَشْتَرِي الْعَبْدَ؟ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِذًا وَاللهِ تَجِدُنِي كَاسِدًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَكِنْ عِنْدَ اللهِ لَسْتَ بِكَاسِدٍ أَوْ قَالَ لَكِنْ عِنْدَ اللهِ أَنْتَ غَالٍ لَمْ يُثْبِتْهُ شَيْخُنَا وَفِيهِ خِلَافٌ فَقِيلَ حِزَامٌ وَقِيلَ حَرَامٌ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ الْغَنِيِّ الْحَافِظُ حَرَامٌ بِالرَّاءِ أَصَحُّ
"They said: 'O Messenger of Allah! You joke with us?' He said: 'Indeed I do not say except what is true.'" (Hasan)' (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1990)
قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّكَ تُدَاعِبُنَا فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَا أَقُولُ إِلَّا حَقًّا
[Machine] "On the authority of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , that he said, 'I say nothing but the truth.' Some of his companions said, 'You jest, O Messenger of Allah.' He replied, 'I say nothing but the truth.' Some of his companions said, 'You jest, O Messenger of Allah.' He replied, 'I say nothing but the truth.' And Urwah narrated from the Prophet, ﷺ , as Mursal (without the chain of transmission), that there was a joke in it. Abu Abdur-Rahman Al-Sulami informed us that Abu Al-Hassan Al-Karizi told us that Ali ibn Abd al-Aziz reported from Abu Ubaid that he said: Ibn Ulayyah informed me from Khalid Al-Hadh'a that Urwah narrated from him, and he raised it (the narration). Abu Ubaid said: His saying 'Al-Du'abah' (the joke) means Al-Muzah (the jester)."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا أَقُولُ إِلَّا حَقًّا قَالَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ إِنَّكَ تُلَاعِبُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ لَا أَقُولُ إِلَّا حَقًّا قَالَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ إِنَّكَ تُلَاعِبُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ لَا أَقُولُ إِلَّا حَقًّا وَرَوَى عِكْرِمَةُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مُرْسَلًا أَنَّهُ كَانَتْ فِيهِ دُعَابَةٌ 21175 أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ أَنْبَأَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْكَارِزِيُّ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ يَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ قَوْلُهُ الدُّعَابَةُ يَعْنِي الْمُزَاحَ
The Prophet ﷺ said: I guarantee a house in the surroundings of Paradise for a man who avoids quarrelling even if he were in the right, a house in the middle of Paradise for a man who avoids lying even if he were joking, and a house in the upper part of Paradise for a man who made his character good. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4800)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَا زَعِيمٌ بِبَيْتٍ فِي رَبَضِ الْجَنَّةِ لِمَنْ تَرَكَ الْمِرَاءَ وَإِنْ كَانَ مُحِقًّا وَبِبَيْتٍ فِي وَسَطِ الْجَنَّةِ لِمَنْ تَرَكَ الْكَذِبَ وَإِنْ كَانَ مَازِحًا وَبِبَيْتٍ فِي أَعْلَى الْجَنَّةِ لِمَنْ حَسُنَ خُلُقُهُ
The Companions of the Prophet ﷺ told us that they were travelling with the Prophet ﷺ. A man of them slept, and one of them went to the rope which he had with him. He took it, by which he was frightened. The Prophet ﷺ said: It is not lawful for a Muslim that he frightens a Muslim. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5004)
حَدَّثَنَا أَصْحَابُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَسِيرُونَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَنَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ فَانْطَلَقَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى أَحْبُلٍ مَعَهُ فَأَخَذَهَا فَفَزِعَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يُرَوِّعَ مُسْلِمًا
