Any eye from which tears flow over one’s checks such face will not face any suffering or humiliation. Everything has weighing and measuring tools except tears with a very little of which Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, will extinguish oceans of fire.

If a servant (of Allah) weeps in a nation, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, will grant favor to that nation because of the weeping of that one servant (of Allah).” شهور - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (12/52))
