سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا وَ لَهُ كَيْلٌ وَ وَزْنٌ إِلَّا الدُّمُوعُ فَإِنَّ الْقَطْرَةَ مِنْهَا تُطْفِئُ بِحَاراً مِنَ النَّارِ فَإِذَا اغْرَوْرَقَتِ الْعَيْنُ بِمَائِهَا لَمْ يَرْهَقْ وَجْهَهُ قَتَرٌ وَ لَا ذِلَّةٌ فَإِذَا فَاضَتْ حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى النَّارِ وَ لَوْ أَنَّ بَاكِياً بَكَى فِي أُمَّةٍ لَرُحِمُوا .
Translation
Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel Bin Darraj and Dorost, from Muhammad Bin Marwan who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘There is none from the things except that from it is a measurement and a weight except for the tears, for a drop of it can extinguish oceans of fire. So whenever the eyes overflow with its water, its face will neither wear out from be disgraced. So when they overflow, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Prohibits it upon the Fire, and if a weeper in a community was to weep, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would be Merciful upon it (the whole community)’.
