Brief Summary
The Arabic word "dahika" as attributed to the Prophet (PBUH) constitutes the common denominator of this book. It has been translated with the English infinitive "to smile" and not "to laugh" because the real meaning of dahika "as attributed to the Prophet (PBUH)* can be rendered into English through "to smile" and not "to laugh". In his Fathul-Bari Imam Ibn Hajar has mentioned that one of the qualities of the Prophet (PBUH) is that his dahik (laughing) was the same like tabassum or smiling (of others).
"Your smiling in the face of your
(Muslim) brother is an act of charity " It has also been narrated that Abdullah Ibnul-
Harith Ibn Jaz', may Allah be pleased with him, said, "I have never seen anyone who would smile much more than the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)."
Furthermore, Ibn "Umar, May Allah be pleased with him, was once asked, "Did the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) use to laugh?" He answered, "Yes, but the faith in their hearts was bigger (i.e., superior) than mountains."
