I read a very funny incident in the Hadith of Sahih Bukhari.
Volume 4, Book 55, Number 619: Narrated Abu Huraira: The Angel of Death was sent to Moses when he came to Moses, Moses slapped him on the eye. The angel returned to his Lord and said, "You have sent me to a Slave who does not want to die." Allah said, "Return to him and tell him to put his hand on the back of an ox and for every hair that will come under it, he will be granted one year of life." Moses said, "O Lord! What will happen after that?" Allah replied, "Then death." Moses said, "Let it come now." Moses then requested Allah to let him die close to the Sacred Land so much so that he would be at a distance of a stone's throw from it." Abu Huraira added, "Allah's Apostle said, 'If I were there, I would show you his grave below the red sand hill on the ------------- And We have not sent you(O Muhammad!) but as a mercy to the worlds.

yes, i have read this incident in a book called Stories of the Prophets by Ibn Kathir. i found that a little funny what i found more funny is the incident in which an Egyptian man was quarelling with another man, so Prophet Moses (pbuh) used his fist and smacked the Egyptian man on his face and the Egyptian man died on the spot. masha Allah Prophet Moses (pbuh) was very strong |
. later Prophet Moses (pbuh) repented to Allah for this act and Allah forgave Prophet Moses (pbuh) for his repentance.Posted By: BMZ

Ok!, If you guys enjoy that, here is something from direct from Qur'aan: V37-38 "We told Noah that there will be no more believers from his people except those who did and don't worry about what they do. Build the boat in front of Us as told and don't talk about those cruel people who would surely drown. And Noah started building the boat and everytime the chiefs of his people passed by, they laughed at him. Noah told them,'You laugh at us but in fact we are laughing at you, the same way.' " Note: They saw Noah building a boat on dry lands where there was no sign of any water, river or lake. The people naturally laughed and mocked at him making fun of him. Noah knew what was coming up and in his heart he was laughing at them as they did not believe and made fun of him. |

Well, I shouldn't be misunderstood, but I respect all the Prophets equally. I found the characteristic of this act funny, Moses slapping the Angel of Death in the eye. I mean Prophet Moses had a very curious personality too. ------------- And We have not sent you(O Muhammad!) but as a mercy to the worlds. (Al-Quran 21: 107) |

brother bmz
your example was serious about the ark. This was just one of the minor funny acts of Prophet Moses on his part, apart from pulling the Pharoah's beard when he was a child.  ------------- And We have not sent you(O Muhammad!) but as a mercy to the worlds. (Al-Quran 21: 107) |

I thought there were several funny scenes in Bukhari, showing the Prophet Muhummad as a very witty individual. I wish I had made a not of them - I have tried to search several times and can't find them anymore.

DavidC, I don't think there is anything
rong with the personalities of the Prophets, after all they were human beings- they weren't solemn-faced teachers!  I think, a person without any interesting carachter is a really dull person.------------- And We have not sent you(O Muhammad!) but as a mercy to the worlds. (Al-Quran 21: 107) |

I couldn't agree more. In one of the hadith I remember the Prophet stopped someone preaching about Allah in the marketplace. He told him to go home and give the people a break. ------------- Christian; Wesleyan M.Div. |

Bismillah irrahman irrahim Assalamu alaikum i think Sayyidina Muhammad (saw) had really nice sense of humour, it is narrated that once an old lady asked him (saw) whether she is going to heaven or not, he (saw) told her that no old people don't go to heaven. later on when she got upset Sayyidina Muhammad (saw) did clarify it to her that Allah swt blesses people of jannah with eternal youth. subhanAllah there is another incident which i quite like, there were a group of sahabh (ra) sitting with Sayyidina Muhammad (saw), they were all eating dates, Sayyidina Muhammad (saw) started throwing his date stones infront of Ali (ra), seeing him all the companions did the same and after a while there was a big pile infront of ali (ra), Sayyidina Muhammad (saw) said to every one, look how hungry is ali today he has eaten so many dates, on which ali (ra) said am i the hungry one or you lot who ate their dates including the date stone, wassalam p.s. i think moderators should move it to the prophets section, it will fit there better. ------------- Say: (O Muhammad) If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your faults, and Allah is Forgiving, MercifuL |

My favorite hadith is when Fatima asked her father for a slave from the captives... Volume 7, Book 64, Number 274:
I love the image of the wise father, playfully sitting between his daugther and son in law and dispensing wisdom to them in their beds, all the while propping his feet on his son in law. |
