Bismillaah:

Abu Razin ibn Hudoos رضي الله عنه said :

"The Messenger of Allaah صلي الله عليه وسلم said:

''Allaah laughs at the despair of His slaves although He soon changes it.' I said: O Messenger of Allaah, does the Lord laugh? He said: Yes.' I said: 'We shall never be deprived of good by a Lord Who laughs"

Takhreej:

{ Imam Ibn Majah in his Sunnan #181 and graded as Saheeh by Imam as Suyooti and Hasan by Al Albaani and Abu Muaadh رحمهم الله }

Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه said:

The Messenger of Allaah صلي الله عليه وسلم said:

"Allaah laughs at two men, one of whom killed the other but they both entered Paradise. The first one fought in the cause of Allaah and was killed, then Allaah accepted the repentance of the one who killed him, and he fought and was martyred."

Takhreej:

{ Imam an Nasaa’i in his Sunnan # 3168 and graded as Saheeh by Shaykh Abu Muaadh رحمهم الله }

Imam Abdur Razaq al Affifi رحمه الله commented:

This Hadeeth proves that Allaah has the Attribute of Laughing yet in a way that befits His Magnificence and Greatness. He is like no other being. Allaah عزوجل says: There is nothing like Him; and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.

{ Majmu al Fataawa}

Imam Muhammad al Uthaimeen رحمه اللّه commented :

Allaah is not Laughing at the misery of others out of enjoyment, but rather His Laughing is an indication that He is a God whom we could expect good from. This is implied in the first aforementioned hadeeth when the man asked the Prophet صلي الله عليه وسلم“'O Messenger of Allaah, does the Lord laugh?”, to which he replied “'We shall never be deprived of good by a Lord Who laughs.”
As for the second aforementioned hadeeth, similarly as with the first, Allaah is not Laughing at the evil of killing. Rather, He is Laughing because during this life there was so much hate and discord between those two men, yet all that animosity was removed from their hearts and they both entered paradise. All of this was done by the Will of Allaah.

{ Sharh Aqeedatul Wasitiyah, Sharh Riyaad us Saliheen }

*** And Allaah عزوجل knows best ***
