Sunan Abi Dawud 4932 (Book 43, Hadith 160) #25223
Amusement of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was amused when he saw a toy horse with wings made of rags in Aisha's storeroom.

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: When the Messenger of Allah arrived after the expedition to Tabuk or Khaybar (the narrator is doubtful), the draught raised an end of a curtain which was hung in front of her store-room, revealing some dolls which belonged to her. He asked: What is this? She replied: My dolls. Among them he saw a horse with wings made of rags, and asked: What is this I see among them? She replied: A horse. He asked: What is this that it has on it? She replied: Two wings. He asked: A horse with two wings? She replied: Have you not heard that Solomon had horses with wings? She said: Thereupon the Messenger of Allah laughed so heartily that I could see his molar teeth.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrates an incident that happened when the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ returned from an expedition to either Tabuk or Khaybar. He noticed a curtain that was hung in front of Aisha's storeroom and it revealed some dolls which belonged to her. Among them was a toy horse with wings made of rags and upon seeing this the Prophet ﷺ asked what it was and she replied that it is a horse with two wings. She then mentioned how even Solomon had horses with wings which made the Prophet ﷺ laugh heartily so much so that his molar teeth were visible. This hadith teaches us about the amusement and joyous nature of our beloved prophet ﷺ as well as his knowledge about past prophets such as Solomon who also had horses with wings according to Islamic tradition. It also shows us how important playtime is for children and how we should not be too strict on them while they are playing or having fun since even our beloved prophet ﷺ found joy in these activities himself!
