Is this Hadith authentic?
Sayyidah ‘Aaishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) narrates:
“I never saw the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) laughing in such a way that his uvula (i.e. the soft fleshy tissue hanging in the back of the throat) became visible. He used to merely smile.”
Answer:
Imams Bukhari and Muslim (rahimahumallah) have recorded this Hadith. The Hadith is therefore authentic.
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 4828, 6092 and Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 899)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
