AN OLD woman came to the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and asked him to pray that she enter Paradise.
"Old women," said he, "cannot enter Paradise." The old lady turned away weeping.
The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) then said, "Tell her that she will not enter Paradise in her aged condition." Allah Ta’ala will make all the women of Paradise young virgins.
Indulging in humour is permissible provided it does not lead to hard-heartedness, nor is someone hurt.
The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) was asked regarding the fact that he also cracked jokes. He replied, "Yes, but I do not speak lies."
According to Muhaddith Sufyaan bin Uyaina joking is sunnah if done correctly .
