CRYING FOR FEAR OF ALLAH

People who cry out of fear of Allah, it shows their sincerity and enthusiasm to seek the pleasure of Allah.

Abu Rayhanah reported, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: حُرِّمَتِ النَّارُ عَلَى عَيْنٍ دَمَعَتْ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللهِ حُرِّمَتِ النَّارُ عَلَى عَيْنٍ سَهِرَتْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ حُرِّمَتِ النَّارُ عَلَى عَيْنٍ غَضَّتْ عَنْ مَحَارِمِ اللهِ The Hellfire is forbidden for the eye weeping from the fear of Allah. The Hellfire is forbidden for the eye vigilant in the way of Allah. The Hellfire is forbidden for the eye that lowers its gaze from what Allah has forbidden [an-Nasa'i : 8818, hasan li ghayrihi]. Ibn Abbas reported, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: عَيْنَانِ لاَ تَمَسُّهُمَا النَّارُ عَيْنٌ بَكَتْ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللهِ وَعَيْنٌ بَاتَتْ تَحْرُسُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ "Two eyes will never touch the Hellfire: an eye weeping from the fear of Allah, and an eye standing guard in the way of Allah" [al-Tirmidhi : 1639, sahih]. In the book "al-Targhib wal-Tarhib", Al-Mundhiri mentions these hadiths and gives summary: الترغيب في البكاء من خشية الله تعالى "Encouragement to weep from fear of Allah Almighty". *** Waqf is the way to preserve your wealth.
