John Shaqi

مَا مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ إِلَّا وَ لَهُ كَيْلٌ وَ وَزْنٌ إِلَّا الدُّمُوعُ فَإِنَّ الْقَطْرَةَ تُطْفِئُ بِحَاراً مِنْ نَارٍ فَإِذَا اغْرَوْرَقَتِ الْعَيْنُ بِمَائِهَا لَمْ يَرْهَقْ وَجْهاً قَتَرٌ وَ لَا ذِلَّةٌ فَإِذَا فَاضَتْ حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى النَّارِ وَ لَوْ أَنَّ بَاكِياً بَكَى فِي أُمَّةٍ لَرُحِمُوا .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Muhammad Bin Marwan, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘There is none from the things except that there is a measurement and a weight for it, except for the tears, for the drop can extinguish an ocean of fire. So when the eyes are overflowing by its water, neither will its face wear out nor be disgraced. So when they overflow, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Prohibits it upon the Fire, and if a weeper were to weep in a community, it would be Shown Mercy’.
