چکیده:
This research intends to respond to this question; due to the fact that Quran says; "it was spoken to him"، "he does not speak of lust and likes"، and " you have an excellent morales"، would Prophet Mohammad speak of epigrams and funny words? If so، then what category would Prophet's epigrams would fit in? What elements were mostly used in them? Has the Prophet considered any limitations for such epigrams? This research shows that at that time، Prophet Mohammad did mean to speak funny and witty words. However، he never violated moralities. The prophets' witty words are categorized in two groups; first are the wise witty words with a advice; and the second groups are the general witty words that are less complicated. The general witty words are two kinds; the witty words of "situation" and "phrasal" ones. The phrasal ones include linguistic rhetorical ones such as puns and ambiguities، brevity، creating wonders in the language and behavior، paradox and antithesis. Also part of these witty words is instructional. The prophetical witty words are mostly linguistic and phrasal ones، symbols، and emblems، intending to humiliate and insult others، and rarely seen in them. Nevertheless، since at times، the term "witty words" is used in the domain of offence، insult and humiliation or even the social matters، and the prophet's lofty character is superior to any of this، no one has ever categorized the dear Prophet's words at all. The writer of this research has called all the Prophet's witty linguistic points، comments and words "witty" to be polite within the religious borders without any exception.

Arthur Pollard has categorized such writings very precisely: burlesque or ridiculous parody 6 , cynicism and pessimism toward humans 7 , humor and joking 8 , invective and abuse 9 , irony and ambiguity 10 , paradox 11 , parody and ridiculous imitation of style 12 , ridicule 13 , sarcasm and biting irony 14 , sardonic schadenfreude to facetiousness 15 , satire 16 , and wit, cleverness, perceptiveness, and jocularity 17 (Pollard, 1383: 99).
In Persian instructional texts, especially mystical texts, in order to prevent satire, banter, and joking from exceeding limits, they have encouraged following the method of the jests, expressive elegance, and sweet speech of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) (Ghazali, 1351: 265-270; Suhrawardi, 1364: 116).
Use of linguistic and rhetorical elements in the jokes of the Noble Prophet (PBUH) Conciseness (Ijaz): Conciseness is expressing a matter in minimum words such that its meaning is not harmed.
Another one of the linguistic jokes of the Noble Messenger (PBUH) is recorded by Ghazali as follows: "Abu Talha had a son whom he called Abu Umayr; the Prophet [came to him] and said: ابا عُمَیرُ ما فعل النغیر؟ meaning, what did you do with the little sparrow?
Educational Humor An example of the educational witticisms of the Noble Prophet (PBUH) is the story of Khawat bin Jubayr, which Ghazali has narrated in Ihya Ulum al-Din.
Another example of such witticisms is the kind apology of the Noble Prophet (PBUH) regarding the daily visits of Abu Hurairah, sometimes mentioning his many narrations of hadith, and teaching social etiquette that one should not take up others' time every single day.
