Hadith #374
Arabic Text
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ وَحَسَنٌ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ وَكِيعِ بْنِ حُدَسٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَبِي رَزِينٍ قَالَ حَسَنٌ الْعُقَيْلِيِّ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ضَحِكَ رَبُّنَا مِنْ قُنُوطِ
عَبْدِهِ وَقُرْبِ غَيْرِهِ قَالَ أَبُو رَزِينٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوَيَضْحَكُ الرَّبُّ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْعَظِيمُ لَنْ نَعْدَمَ مِنْ رَبٍّ يَضْحَكُ خَيْرًا قَالَ حَسَنٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ لَنْ نَعْدَمَ مِنْ رَبٍّ يَضْحَكُ خَيْرًا

Bahz and Ḥasan narrated to us, they said: Ḥammād ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Yaʿlā ibn ʿAṭāʾ, from Wakīʿ ibn Ḥudas, from his uncle Abū Razīn — Ḥasan said: al-ʿUqaylī — from the Prophet ﷺ who said: 'Our Lord laughs at the despair of His servant when relief is near.' Abū Razīn said: I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, does the Lord عز وجل, the Almighty, laugh?' He said: 'We shall never lack goodness from a Lord who laughs.' Ḥasan said in his narration: He said: 'Yes. We shall never lack goodness from a Lord who laughs.'
