From Abu Hurairah (radhiyallah hu ‘anhu) who said: We said: O Messenger of Allah ! You jest with us? He pbuh said: “Yes, except that I do not say except what is true” (Hadith reported by At Tirmizi)
So falsehood has no share of this, and lies cannot approach it. So his jesting is with words that are true. Nor does this mean that he is to expend all his time in lightheartedness and jesting. Rather in this and in all matters he follows the footsteps of the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them all, and their way in this regard was: A Time for this and a Time for that.
