Ahadith on Laughing Loudly

Question:
Can you please find ahadith about laughing loudly.

Response:
These are the two ahadith I have found somewhat relevant to the subject:

1) Narrated AbuHurayrah: "Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "Who will accept those words from me and act upon them, or teach people who will act upon them?" When he replied that he would he took him by the hand and counting five characteristics, said, "If you guard against the things which are forbidden, you will be the most devout of men; if you are pleased with what Allah has allotted, you will be the richest of men; if you are kind to your neighbour, you will be a believer; if you like others to have what you like for yourself, you will be a Muslim; and do not laugh immoderately, for immoderate laughter causes the heart to die."

Ahmad and Tirmidhi transmitted it, Tirmidhi saying this is a gharib tradition.

2) Narrated Jabir ibn Samurah: "Simak ibn Harb asked Jabir ibn Samurah, 'Did you sit in the company of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)?' He said: Yes, very often. He (the Prophet) used to sit at the place where he observed the morning or dawn prayer till the sun rose or when it had risen; he would stand, and they (his Companions) would talk about matters (pertaining to the days) of ignorance, and they would laugh (on these matters) while (the Prophet) only smiled." (Mulsim).
