Original content

رسول صلی الله علیه و - مر عجوزه را گفت که عجایز به بهشت در نیایند! آن عجوزه به گریه درآمد. فرمود که خدای تعالی ایشان را جوان گرداند و جوانتر از آنچه بودند برانگیزاند آنگه به بهشت برد.
و نیز مر زنی را از انصار گفت: به شوهر خود برس که در چشم وی سفیدی واقع است. آن زن به سرعت و اضطراب تمام پیش شوهر خود دوید. شوهر از وی سبب اضطراب پرسید. آنچه حضرت فرموده بودند باز گفت. گفت: راست فرموده اند، در چشم من سفیدی هست و سیاهی هست اما نه به بدی!

گر مقبلی مزاح کند عیب او مکن
شغلیست آن به قاعده عقل و دین مباح

دل آیینه است کلفت جد زنگ آیینه
آن زنگ را چه امکان صیقل بود مزاح

English translation

The Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said to an old woman that old women shall not enter Paradise! The old woman broke into weeping. He said that God Most High will make them young, and will raise them younger than they had been, and then bring them into Paradise.

And he also said to a woman of the Ansar: Attend to your husband, for a whiteness has appeared in his eye. The woman ran to her husband in great haste and agitation. Her husband asked her the cause of her distress. She repeated what the Prophet had said. He replied: They have spoken truly; in my eye there is whiteness and there is blackness, but not as a defect!

If a fortunate one jests, do not fault him for it; that is an occupation permitted by the rule of reason and religion. The heart is a mirror, and the burden of solemnity is the rust of the mirror; what better means to polish away that rust than jesting?
