Br. Yaser, this is a great post! It’s unfortunate that many Muslims think there is no room for humour in Islam.

It is always right to play a practical joke on Yaser :). If Al-Nu3ayman can play one on Uthman (RAA), then anyone can do anything to Yaser :) however, the narrator never mentioned what happened to Al-nu3ayman after that. You can only imagine :) and Yaser has a vivid imagination. Are you ready for him to follow the footsteps of Uthman RAA and do to you what he would imagine Uthman RAA had done? :)

Before I was worried that it would be taken as being rude but now I can say “I’m following in the footsteps of the Prophet peace be upon him and his sahaba may God be pleased with them lol”
Jazaka Allah khair, this post is an eye opener.
