Simak says: I asked Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him): Did you have the honor of attending the gatherings of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) was mostly silent and laughed little. The noble Companions, in his presence, would mention poetry and matters related to their affairs and would laugh, and sometimes he (peace and blessings be upon him) would smile.
