Question:

Asalamo AlaikumDoes ALLAH laugh? And is it mentioned in some of the hadiths?Question 2:A muslim does not have to talk inknowledgeably about islam, right? So Do I have to verify even my tawhid that I learned from scholars that I trust and I have to go see which hadith or Quranic statement they use as a reference? Do I have to verify everything? Also the Information that I am certain about?
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

It is proven in authentic Ahadeeth that laughing is one of the Attributes of Allah; He laughs in a manner that befits His Majesty and Greatness.

Abu Hurayrah may Allaah be pleased with him narrated that the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) said: “Allah laughs at two men, one of whom killed the other but they both enter Paradise.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Ibn Khuzaymah, who is known as the leader of all the Imams, mentioned this Hadeeth in Kitaab At-Tawheed (the Book of Tawheed) under chapter: ‘Stating the confirmation that our Lord, Almighty, laughs: “Without describing how He laughs, and His laughing does not resemble to the laughing of the creation, and vise-versa.”
