individual of his time. He would rarely laugh due to his remembrance
of death and the punishment of hell. One day he was going somewhere
when he saw a young man indugled in laughter. Hasan al-Basri asked the
youth, "Young man, have you already crossed the bridge of Sirath? Have
you alreadyfound out whether you are going to paradise or hell?" The
young man replied, "No." Hasan al-Basri told him, "Then why are you
laughing somuch?" After that, no one saw this young man laughing again
as he came to know the realityof this life.

Abul Laith Samarkandi.
Many hours or probably days have passed away from our lives in
laughter and jokes. It is a sign that we have forgotten the life of
the hereafter. The sahabah used to do good deeds all day but still cry
during the night to Allah. On the other hand,we do sins all day and
still have no concerns! It is permissible to laugh atamazing things
and smile while being in company of others.
