Back to today's daily hadith
moderation

Don't laugh too much

لَا تُكْثِرُوا الضَّحِكَ، فَإِنَّ كَثْرَةَ الضَّحِكِ تُمِيتُ الْقَلْبَ

La tukthiru-d-dahik, fa-inna kathrata-d-dahiki tumitu-l-qalb.

"Do not laugh excessively, too much laughter deadens the heart."

Narrated by Abu Hurayrah. Jami' at-Tirmidhi 2305 (hasan)

A short reflection

Not a prohibition on joy. A warning about a posture, the one that never takes anything seriously. Something inside stops feeling.
