What is the ruling on joking with a friend by saying to him when informing him of news: "I don't believe you, your place is known with Abu Jahl and the rest," accompanied by laughter?

You should not liken Abu Jahl to your friend, as this involves disparagement and blame, even if it is in jest. For jesting that leads to immodesty or insult is a defect and blameworthy. Jesting is recommended among brothers and friends, as long as it does not involve slander, backbiting, or inciting malice.
