Simak bin Harb reported: I said to Jabir bin ahadeeth: Did you sit in the company of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (may peace he upon him)? He said: Yes, very often. He (the Holy Prophet) used to sit at the place where he observed the morning or dawn prayer till the sun rose or when it had risen; he would stand, and they (his Companions) would talk about matters (pertaining to the days) of ignorance, and they would laugh (on these matters) while (the Holy Prophet) only smiled.
