[Machine] I was with the Prophet ﷺ in the trench, and he took a branch and dug with it. He happened to come across a stone and laughed. It was asked, "What makes you laugh, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "I laughed at people who come to you from the east bringing them to Paradise while they themselves dislike it."  

الطبراني:٥٧٣٣حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ ثنا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْأَسْلَمِيُّ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ سَهْلٍ قَالَ

كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بَالخَنْدَقِ فَأَخَذَ الْكِرْزِينَ فَحَفَرَ بِهِ فَصَادَفَ حَجَرًا فَضَحِكَ فَقِيلَ مَا يُضْحِكُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «ضَحِكْتُ مِنْ نَاسٍ يَأْتُونَكُمْ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ ويُسَاقُونَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَهُمْ كَارِهُونَ»

[Machine] I was with the Prophet ﷺ at the trench, and he took a pickaxe and started digging with it. He hit a stone and laughed. It was asked, "What makes you laugh, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "I laughed at some people who will be brought from the East to be pushed into Paradise."
