- "Indeed, Allāh laughs at two men, one of whom kills the other, and then Allāh admits them both into Paradise. One of them is a disbeliever who kills the other, then he embraces Islam and fights in the cause of Allāh and is killed." It was recorded by Aḥmad (2/511): Rūḥ narrated to us, Muḥammad ibn Abī Ḥafṣah narrated to us, Ibn Shihāb narrated from Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyib from Abū Hurayrah, attributed to the Prophet, with an addition: "It was said, how can that be? He said: one of them is..." and so on. And this is a sound chain of narration according to the criteria of al-Bukhārī and Muslim. There is another similar chain recorded by al-Nasāʾī (2/63) and Aḥmad (2/244) from Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah from Abū al-Zanād from al-Aʿraj from Abū Hurayrah, attributed to the Prophet. And this is also sound according to their criteria. They have both recorded it from this perspective with the wording: "Allāh laughs at two men," and it will be mentioned, Allāh willing. In "al-Musnad" (3/318), there is a third chain: ʿAbd al-Razzāq narrated to us, Maʿmar narrated from Hammām ibn Munabbih from him. And this is also a sound chain according to their criteria. It was recorded by Muslim (6/40) and al-Bayhaqī in "al-Asmāʾ wa-al-Ṣifāt" (p. 468), and both al-Bukhārī and Muslim recorded it from the path of al-Aʿraj from him in a similar manner, and it has been mentioned under number (1074).
