Profetens humor og lattermilde natur

Og nej jeg joker ikke! Profeten fvmh havde også humor, selvom han var sat ned for at prædike islams budskab om fred, retfærdighed og kærlighed. I dette indlæg har jeg taget et par hadith/fortællinger med, som viser hvor mild den barmhjertige apostel var, og stadig efter 1300 år kan jeg stadigvæk sidde og smile af ældgamle profetisk udtalelser:

1. Profeten smilede mere end han grinede… 

He generally used to smile rather than laughing Aisha, wife of the Messenger of Allah (p) said: I never saw the Messenger of Allah (p) laugh fully to such an extent that I could see his uvula. He would only smile, … [Sunan Abu Dawood, Vol. 3, #5079] [Note: Whether he smiled or laugh depended on the situation as illustrated by the Hadiths quoted below.]

 2. Vær fuld af humor overfor din familie og kære!

Narrated Ibn Mas’ud: “Mix with the people on the condition that your Deen is not jeopardized, and be jestful with the family.” [Sahih al-Bukhari, Chapter 81 on "To be cheerful with the people"]

3. Profeten kaldte hans kære for kælenavne!

Narrated Anas bin Malik (r), The Prophet (s) used to mix with us to the extent that he would say to a younger brother of mine (he had a bird called Umair), “O father of Umair! What did do the Nughair (a kind of bird)?” [Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 8, #150]

4. En dukke konversation med Aisha ra efterfulgt af hjertelig grin!..

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu’minin: When the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) arrived after the expedition to Tabuk or Khaybar (the narrator is doubtful), the draught raised an end of a curtain which was hung in front of her store-room, revealing some dolls which belonged to her.

He asked: What is this? She replied: My dolls. Among them he saw a horse with wings made of rags, and asked: What is this I see among them? She replied: A horse. He asked: What is this that it has on it? She replied: Two wings. He asked: A horse with two wings? She replied: Have you not heard that Solomon had horses with wings? She said: Thereupon the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) laughed so heartily that I could see his molar teeth. [Sunan Abu Dawood, Vol. 3, #4914]

5. Gå tilbage og få din gamle forælder til at smile!

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-’As: A man came to the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) and said: I came to you to take the oath of allegiance to you on emigration, and I left my parents weeping. He (the Prophet) said: Return to them and make them laugh as you made them weep. [Sunan Abu Dawood, Vol. 2, #2522]

6. Leende tænder? Huh!

Narrated Abbas ibn Mirdas: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) laughed AbuBakr or Umar said to him: May Allah make your teeth laugh! He then mentioned the tradition. [Sunan Abu Dawood, Vol. 3, #5215]

7. Et ægteskabeligt cute råd fra profeten…

Narrated Jabir: My father died and left behind seven or nine daughters, and I married a woman. The Prophet said, “Did you get married, O Jabir?” I replied, “Yes.” He asked, “Is she a virgin or a matron?” I replied, “She is a matron.” He said, “Why didn’t you marry a virgin girl so that you might play with her and she with you (or, you might make her laugh and she make you laugh)?” I said, “My father died, leaving seven or nine girls (orphans) and I did not like to bring a young girl like them, so I married a woman who can look after them.” He said, “May Allah bestow His Blessing on you.” [Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 8, #396]

8. Profetens nære jokede med hinanden!

Malik al-Ashja’(note: he was a rather robust person) said: I came to the Apostle of Allah at the expedition to Tabuk when he was in a SMALL skin tent. I gave him a salutation and he returned it, saying: Come in. I asked: The whole of me, Apostle of Allah? He replied: The whole of you. So I entered. [Sunan Abu Dawood, Vol. 3, #4982]

9. Profetisk humor…

Anas said: A man came to the Prophet (p) and said: Apostle of Allah! give me a mount. The Prophet (p) said: We shall give you a she-camel’s child to ride on. He said: What shall I do with a she-camel’s child? The Prophet (p) replied: Do any others than she-camels give birth to camels? [Sunan Abu Dawood, Vol. 3, #4980]

10. “O dig med de to ører”..funny

Anas said: The Prophet (s) addressed me as: O you with the two ears! [Sunan Abu Dawood, Vol. 3, #4984]

Så jeg kan altså ikke genkende den måde som diverse opmærksomhedskrævende tegnere fremstiller ham som! For mig er han symbolet på universel skønhed, fred, den ophøjede, den smukke, den humorfyldte…ord kan ikke beskrive hans karakteregenskaber. Ya Rasullah lad sandheden skinne på alles ansigter, læber og øjne.
