Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Every single thing has a measure or a weight, except for tears; for one drop of them can extinguish seas of Fire. If an eye is filled with tears, the face will never be burdened with neediness or humiliation; and if it floods with tears then Allah will make it unlawful for the Fire to touch it. Indeed, if a teary man cries for a community, they all receive mercy.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): ما مِن شيءٍ إلّا ولَهُ كَيْلٌ أو وَزنٌ إلّا الدُّموعَ، فإنّ القَطرةَ مِنها تُطْفِئُ بِحاراً مِن نارٍ، وإذا اغْرَوْرَقَتِ العَينُ بمائها لَم يَرْهَقْ وَجهَهُ قَتَرٌ ولا ذِلَّةٌ، فإذا فاضَتْ حَرَّمَهُ اللّهُ على النّارِ، ولَو أنّ باكياً بكى في اُمَّةٍ لَرُحِموا .
