Humorous Anecdotes – From The Lighter Side of Islamic History [Volume 1] It is proven from authentic hadiths that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) occasionally indulged in good light-hearted humour. This compilation contain humourous anecdotes recorded in classical Arabic sources. Ali ibn Abi Talib mentioned: ”Amuse the hearts and engage in some light-hearted wit because hearts tire as bodies do.” Ibn al-Jawzi mentioned: ”Ulama always expressed an interest in light-hearted humour and would lift the spirits of others because humour relaxes the soul and relieves the hearts of its burdens.”
