HIS HUMOR
Narrated by Anas bin Malik, “A man came to the Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) and sought a ride. Then the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “We are going to carry you on the young of a she-camel.” So he said, “O Messenger of Allah, what shall I do with a young she-camel?” Then the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “And does the camel give birth to other than she camels?.”
Narrated by ‘Awf bin Malik al-Ashja‘i, he said, “I came to the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) in the Battle of Tabook when he was in a tent made from leather, so I gave the Salaam, he replied and said, “Enter.” I said, “All of me O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “Entirely,” so I entered.”
Narrated by Anas, he said, “The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) said to me, “O, the one who has two ears.”
Also narrated by him [Anas](May Allah be pleased with him), “A man from the Bedouins called Zahir used to give the Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) a gift from the desert and the Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) would inform him when he wanted to exit. Then the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Zahir is our [man] desert and we are his [men] urban area. The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) used to love him and he was not a handsome man. Once the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) came to him when he was selling his things and hugged him from behind when he could not see him. Then the man said, “Let go of me, who is this?”
Then he turned and recognized the Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) and didn’t mind that his back was pressed against the chest of the Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) when he knew it was him. The Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) began to say, “Who will buy this slave?” So he said, “O Messenger of Allah, by Allah so you find me unsalable.”Then the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “However with Allah you are not unsalable,” – or he said – “However with Allah you are expensive.”
Also from this type [of humor] is what al-Bukhari narrated in his Saheeh, “A man called Abdullah, nicknamed al-Himar (donkey) used to make the Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) laugh and he was brought summoned [for punishment] for drinking [alcohol] so he was summoned on one day then a man said, “May Allah curse him! How often it is that he is summoned [for punishment]. Then the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Do not curse him because he loves Allah and his Messenger.”
Narrated by Anas bin Malik, “The Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) was on a journey and the camel rider was escorting his wives and his wives were in front of him so he said, “O Anjashah, woe be unto you! Be careful with the glass vessels.”The meaning of al-Qawareer, is women, and it was a word of jest – may the prayers of Allah and his peace be upon him forever till the Day of Judgment.
Also from his noble manners, jesting and good manners is his listening to the hadeeth of Umm Zar‘ from ‘Aishah till its completion. And it is mentioned in some of the narrations that he is the one who informed ‘Aishah.
Narrated by al-Hasan, he said, “An old woman came to the Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) and said, “O Messenger of Allah pray for me that Allah enters me into paradise. He said, “O Mother of so and so, no old woman shall enter paradise.” Then the old woman left crying, so he said, “Inform her that she won’t enter when she is old because Allah the Most High said: “Verily, We have created them (maidens) of special creation. And made them virgins. Loving (their husbands only), equal in age.” [Soorah al-Waqi‘ah: 35-37]
Narrated by Abu Hurairah, who said, “They said, O Messenger of Allah, you joke with us.” He said, “I only tell the truth.”
