    Sunan Ibn Majah 4193 – Prohibiting Laughing Too Much

    Posted by Muhammad Sami ud-Din on December 21, 2023 at 9:11 am

    Asselamu aleykum,

    There is a famous hadith in Sunan Ibn Majah 4193, which reports that our Holy Prophet (sav) said “Do not laugh a lot, for laughing a lot deadens the heart.“. Is that hadith authentic? I have heard that Prophet (sav) used to laugh with his companions (rta). Among his companions, there was a Prankster sahabi, whose name was Hadhrat Nuayman ibn Amr (rta). His pranks are reported to have always been appreciated by Prophet (sav).

    So, Is that hadith authentic or not?

    This is an authentic hadith. It refers to the excess of laughing which amounts to heedlessness. it does not mean that we should not laugh at all or laugh a little. It means not to spend the whole time laughing and merrymaking. Everything looks good when it is appropriate.
