One who is reminded of our sorrows and weeps or makes other people weep, his eyes shall not weep on the day (Qiyamat) when all the eyes shall be weeping.” In the same book Imam Sadiq (as) is quoted, “One who remembers us or our mention is made before him and a tear equal to a mosquito’s wing appears in his eyes, the Almighty Allah forgives his sins even if they are equal to the foam of the sea.”[^1] In the report of Masmah, mentioned previously it was seen that the Imam said: “No eye weeps for us but that it is rewarded by seeing the Kauthar and one who loves us will drink from it…”[^2] It is also narrated in the report of Masmah that Imam Sadiq (as) said: “One who weeps for our affection and for that which has befallen us is not but that the Almighty Allah send mercy for him, before the tear can come out of his eyes and when his tears flow on his cheeks, if one of those tears is thrown on Hell it can douse all the fire in such a way that no heat would remain in it.”[^3] In Biharul Anwar it is narrated from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (as) that he said: One whose eyes weep for us due to a blood that is shed from us unjustly, or a right that has been trespassed or a sanctity of ours that has been infringed, Allah, the High and the Mighty for that tear, will make his home in Paradise for years.[^4] In Biharul Anwar it is narrated from the Amali of Shaykh Tusi and his son that Imam Zainul Abideen (as) said: There is no one who sheds a tear for us or that his eyes become moist of us but Allah, the High and the Mighty due to that places him in Paradise for years.[^5] Ahmad bin Yahya Awdi says: I saw His Eminence, Imam Zainul Abideen (as) in dream and that I said to him: Narrated to me Makhul bin Ibrahim from Mundhir from his father from you that: There is no man whose eye sheds a tear for us or if his eyes fill with tears for us, except that Allah, the High and the Mighty due to it, settles him in Paradise for years?
He replied: Yes, I said: I had heard this tradition without your authority. In Kamiluz Ziaraat and Biharul Anwar it is narrated from His Eminence, Ali bin Husain (as) that he said: Every believer whose eyes shed tears in grief of martyrdom of Imam Husain bin Ali (as) till the tears flow on his cheeks, the Almighty Allah gives him buildings in Paradise where he would live for centuries.
