CRYING BECAUSE OF FEAR OF ALLAH

"Say, "Believe it (Quran) or not believe it; when it is recited to those who were given knowledge before it, they fall down on their face in prostration and say, "Pure is our Lord. Certainly, the word of our Lord is sure to be done." And they fall down on their faces weeping and it increases them in the humbleness of heart." (Surah Bani Isra'il:107-109)

Sayyidna Abu Hurairah RAA narrates that the Holy Prophet ﷺ has said, "a person who wept in fear of Allah shall not go to Hell until milk is returned to the udder after having been milked." (It means that as it is not possible to put milk once milked back into the udder, very similarly, it is also not possible that a person who weeps in fear of Allah would go to Hell)

Another report says that "Allah Ta'alah has forbidden the fire of Hell on two eyes - the eye that weeps in fear of Allah, and the eye that stays awake at nights guarding the Islamic frontiers. (Baihaqi, and Hakim)

Sayyidna Nadr ibn Saad RAA reports that the Holy Prophet SAW said, "If there is a person in a nation who weeps because of fear of Allah, Allah Ta'alah will deliver that nation from the fire of Hell because of him." (Ruh as - Ma'ani from Tirmidhi)
