CONTROLLED LAUGHTER

709

“I never saw the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, laugh in a way that the inside of his mouth could be seen. He only smiled."

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to the Mother of Believers, Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, who related this.

HONORING A GUEST

Allah, the Exalted says:

“Have you heard the story

of Abraham's honored guests?

They entered to him and said: 'Peace.'

And he replied: 'Peace,

you are people unknown to me.'

So he turned to his household

and brought a fattened calf.

He set it before them, saying: 'Will you not eat?'” 51:24-27 Koran

“His nation came running towards him

while they were doing evil deeds.

'My nation,' he said:

'here are my daughters (take them in marriage),

they are cleaner for you.

Fear Allah and do not humiliate me by my guests.

Is there not one man amongst you of right mind?'” 11:78 Koran
