Three Laughs and Three Tears

Three Laughs and Three Tears

It is reported form Abû Al-Dardâ – Allâh be pleased with him – that he said, “Three make me laugh, and three make me cry.
Those that make me laugh are

• a person who puts his hopes in this worldly life while death pursues him,
• a person who is heedless [of his Lord] while [his Lord] is not heedless of him, and
• a person who always laughs while he does not know whether he has pleased Allâh or angered Him.

What makes me cry is

• being separated from my beloved: Muhammad and his party (the Companions),
• the horrors of the time of death, and
• standing in front of Allâh ‘azza wa jall on the Day when the secrets will be revealed and I do not know will I then go to Paradise or Hell?”

Ibn Al-Mubârak, Al-Zuhd wa Al-Raqâ`iq article 250.
