Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mansur ibn Yunus from Muhammad ibn Marwan from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “For everything there is weighing and measuring except tears. One drop of tears can extinguish oceans of fire. If the eyes flood with tears the face will not suffer hardships and humiliation.

When tears flow out, Allah makes it forbidden for the fire and if a person weeps in a nation, such nation will receive favors.” جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (2/50))
