2315. Bahz bin Hakim narrated from his father, from his grandfather, that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Woe to the one who talks about something to make the people laugh, in which he lies. Woe to him! Woe to him!" (Hasan) [He said:] There is something on this topic from Abū Hurairah. [He said:] This Hadith is Hasan.
٢٣١٥ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ جَدِّي قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «وَيْلٌ لِلَّذِي يُحَدِّثُ بِالْحَدِيثِ لِيُضْحِكَ بِهِ الْقَوْمَ» فَيَكْذِبُ، وَيْلٌ لَهُ وَيْلٌ لَهُ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ.

There is nothing wrong with the display of good humor, happy disposition or delightful talk with the people, as long as it does not hurt anybody's feelings. But to take recourse to lying in order to make the people laugh is a highly disliked and hateful conduct. The man indulging in such activities may momentarily succeed in making the people laugh, but will not escape ruination and perdition in the next world.
