أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ، أَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو كَعْبٍ أَيُّوبُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ السَّعْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ
فَذَكَرَهُ وَرَوَى عَلِيٌّ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا: " لَا يَبْلُغُ عَبْدٌ حَقِيقَةَ الْإِيمَانِ حَتَّى يَدَعَ الْمِرَاءَ وَهُوَ مُحِقٌّ، وَحَتَّى يَدَعَ الْكَذِبَ فِي الْمُمَازَحَةِ وَلَوْ شَاءَ لَغَلَبَ " وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ: " لَا يَذُوقُ عَبْدٌ حَقِيقَةَ الْإِيمَانِ حَتَّى يَدَعَ الْكَذِبَ فِي الْمِزَاحِ، وَحَتَّى يَدَعَ الْمِرَاءَ وَهُوَ مُحِقٌّ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ فِيهِ صَادِقٌ، وَذَكَرَ مَعَهُمَا غَيْرَهُمَا " وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ: " مَنْ كَثُرَ مِزَاحُهُ اسْتُخِفَّ بِهِ "

So he mentioned it. And ʿAlī and ʿAbdullāh b. Masʿūd narrated—one of them said: "A servant does not attain the reality of faith until he gives up disputation even though he is in the right, and until he gives up lying in joking, even if he wished he could prevail." And the other said: "A servant does not taste the reality of faith until he gives up lying in jest, and until he gives up disputation even though he is in the right, knowing that he is truthful in it." And he mentioned others along with them. And we have narrated from ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb ؓ: "Whoever jokes much is held in light regard."
