JazakAllahu Khayran akhi ansari for mentioning the appropriate hadeeth with regards to joking.
We should not *cook up* false stories and attribute it to others just for the sake of laughs. This is not acceptable form of joking as per Islam.
Let us read and contemplate of the following hadeeth :-
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Woe to the one who tells lies to make people laugh, woe to him.” (Narrated by Abu Dawood).
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, warning against this kind of behaviour which some jokers are accustomed to: “A man may say something to make his companions laugh, and he will fall into Hell as far as the Pleiades because of it.” (Narrated by Ahmad).
