The Description of Laughter

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The second question of Fatwa No. ( 5733 ):
Q2: What is the meaning of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Allah laughs at two men, one of whom kills the other, and both enter Paradiseيضحك الله من رجلين يقتل أحدهما الآخر كلاهما يدخل الجنة
Sunan al-Bayhaqi 16:1123
agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim
?

A2: The wording of the hadith is:
Allah laughs at two men. One of them kills the other, but each of them will enter the Garden: one fights in the way of Allah and is killed, then Allah turns to the killer, so he fights (in the way of Allah) and also becomes a martyr.يضحك الله إلى رجلين يقتل أحدهما الآخر كلاهما يدخل الجنة، يقاتل هذا في سبيل الله فيقتل ثم يتوب الله على القاتل فيستشهد
Muwatta Malik 21:30
It ends there, and it indicates the affirmation of the attribute of laughter for Allah the Exalted, in a manner befitting His Majesty and Greatness, without resembling His creation in any way, as He the Exalted said:
There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ
[Ash-Shuraa 42:11]
. And success is from Allah. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
