Don't laugh too much

Wednesday, December 3, 2003

لَا تُكْثِرُوا الضَّحِكَ، فَإِنَّ كَثْرَةَ الضَّحِكِ تُمِيتُ الْقَلْبَ
Transliteration

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

Translation

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

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

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

One saying of the Prophet ﷺ a day.

Pair this with the daily verse, the 99 Names, and a few beads of dhikr. Small things, repeated, leave the deepest mark.
