“There is no eye that gets filled with tears due to the fear of Allah, except that Allah saves its whole body from hell fire; and the cheeks upon which the tears stream down shall have neither gloom nor disgrace overspreading the face; and every good deed has a fixed weight and reward, except the tears which flow due to the fear of Allah, for with every drop, Allah shall put out oceans of fire of the Day of Judgement. Surely, when one person among a group of Muslim people weeps with the fear of Allah, He blesses that whole Ummah with mercy because of that believer’s tears.”
-Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (a.s.), Al-Amali
