hadith 228
The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Three people that Allah despises most are: a man who sleeps a lot in the day without having woken up to pray at night, a man who eats a lot without uttering the name of Allah or praising Him upon starting to eat, and a man who laughs a lot without reason.
رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): إنَّ أبغَضَ الخَلقِ إلَى اللّهِ ثلاثةٌ: الرّجُلُ يُكثِرُ النّومَ بالنّهارِ ولَم يُصَلِّ مِن اللّيلِ شَيئاً، والرّجُلُ يُكْثِرُ الأكْلَ ولا يُسَمّي اللّهَ على طَعامِهِ ولا يَحْمَدُهُ، والرّجلُ يُكْثِرُ الضِّحْكَ مِن غيرِ عَجَبٍ.
