Salman al-Farisi (ra) said:
Three things make me laugh, and three things make me cry. I laugh at
someone who stretches his hopes in this world, being unmindful of
death which is steadily seeking to end his life. I laugh at someone
who is heedless and unaware that Allah is not unmindful of him. And
finally, I laugh at someone who grins from ear to ear, unaware whether
his loud laughter is pleasing to his Lord, or perhaps whether it is
incurring His wrath.
On the other hand, I cry for missing the fellowship of Muhammad :saw2:
and his companions. I cry when I think about a man experiencing the
throes of death, and his grief and agony with his overwhelming newly
unveiled encounter. And finally, I cry when I think about my having to
stand up on the Day of Reckoning before Almighty Allah, blessed is His
name, not knowing whether I will be thirsted into hell-fire, or let to
enter paradise.
[Narrated by Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal]
