Hadith 34
The Laughing Of Rasoolullah
Jabir ibn Samura said (may Allah be well pleased with him):
"There was a slenderness in the legs of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), and his laugh always took the form of a joyful smile, so when I looked at him, I said: 'His eyes are blackened [with kohl], though and he is not black-eyed'!”
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَرْطَاةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ: كَانَ فِي سَاقَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، حُمُوشَةٌ، وَكَانَ لا يَضْحَكُ إِلا تَبَسُّمًا، فَكُنْتُ إِذَا نَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ، قُلْتُ: أَكْحَلُ الْعَيْنَيْنِ، وَلَيْسَ بِأَكْحَلَ..
