2850. Jābir bin Samurah said: "I sat with the Prophet ﷺ more than one-hundred times. His Companions used to recite poetry and talk about things that occurred during Jāhiliyyah, and he would remain silent, and sometimes he would smile along with them." (Ṣaḥīḥ) This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ. Zuhair also reported it from Simāk.
٢٨٥٠ - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ: «جَالَسْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مِائَةِ مَرَّةٍ،» فَكَانَ أَصْحَابُهُ يَتَنَاشَدُونَ الشِّعْرَ وَيَتَذَاكَرُونَ أَشْيَاءَ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، وَهُوَ سَاكِتٌ فَرُبَّمَا يَتَبَسَّمُ مَعَهُمْ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ أَيْضًا.

The noble Companions would sometimes read the poetry of pre-Islamic period and remember the events, and they would also remember the favors and bounties of Islam achieved through the Messenger of Allāh, they would laugh at their pre-Islamic ignorant life and at how they used to live.
