حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَابِقٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا زَفَّتِ امْرَأَةً إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " يَا عَائِشَةُ مَا كَانَ مَعَكُمْ لَهْوٌ فَإِنَّ الأَنْصَارَ يُعْجِبُهُمُ اللَّهْوُ ".

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 5162
This hadith about wedding amusement shows a simple scene from a marriage ceremony. Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, prepared a woman as a bride for a man from the Ansar. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) then asked her whether they had any amusement with them, because the Ansar liked amusement. The core topic is wedding joy. The hadith does not describe the exact form of amusement in this text, so the explanation should not add details beyond the wording. What is clear is that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) noticed the social mood of the Ansar and asked about a happy element at the marriage ceremony. It shows that marriage was not treated as a dry event, but as an occasion with joy.
