Hadith 939
۞
Hadith.941 - It has been narrated that "
crying over a deceased person interrupts the prayer, but crying out of remembrance for Paradise and Hellfire is among the best deeds during prayer."
It is also narrated that "there is a measure or weight for everything except for tears shed out of the fear of Allah (swt), as a single drop of it can extinguish vast fires of Hell. And if a person who cries were present among a nation, they would be blessed with mercy."
941 - وَ رُوِيَ: «أَنَّ اَلْبُكَاءَ عَلَى اَلْمَيِّتِ يَقْطَعُ اَلصَّلاَةَ وَ اَلْبُكَاءَ لِذِكْرِ اَلْجَنَّةِ وَ اَلنَّارِ مِنْ أَفْضَلِ اَلْأَعْمَالِ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ.
وَ رُوِيَ
«أَنَّهُ مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلاَّ وَ لَهُ كَيْلٌ أَوْ وَزْنٌ إِلاَّ اَلْبُكَاءَ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِنَّ اَلْقَطْرَةَ مِنْهُ تُطْفِئُ بِحَاراً مِنَ اَلنِّيرَانِ وَ لَوْ أَنَّ بَاكِياً بَكَى فِي أُمَّةٍ لَرُحِمُوا.
