Hazrat Abdullah bin Ubaidah says that Safiyyah, the wife of the Prophet (peace be upon him), saw people recite the verse of prostration and then perform prostration, so she called out, "This is merely prostration and supplication, but where has the weeping gone?"

Hazrat Bakhtari bin Ziyad bin Kharijah narrates that a man from the tribe of ‘Abad passed by a blacksmith’s open furnace and stopped to watch. Then, for as long as Allah willed, he kept watching, until finally he let out a scream and died.

Hazrat Ibn Abi Mulaykah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that I saw Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) weeping. When he saw me, he said, "Are you surprised at my weeping out of fear of Allah? So if you cannot weep, then at least make a face as if you are weeping, to the extent that someone among you might say, 'Look at him, look at him.' Surely, even this moon weeps out of fear of Allah."

Hazrat Ibn Buraidah said that if the weeping of all the people on the face of the earth were compared to the weeping of Dawud (peace be upon him), it would still not be equal to it. And if the weeping of Dawud (peace be upon him) and all the people of the earth were compared to the weeping of Adam (peace be upon him) at the time when he was sent down to the earth, then the weeping of Adam (peace be upon him) would surpass them all.

Hazrat A'mash (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Abu Salih (may Allah have mercy on him) used to lead us in prayer, and due to the tenderness of his heart, he was unable to recite (properly).

Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) bin Ahmar narrates that a certain person told me that I went to Rabee'ah and he was crying in prayer.

Hazrat Safwan bin Muhriz says that when Rabee’ah recited the verse of the Holy Qur’an { وَسَیَعْلَمُ الَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوا أَیَّ مُنْقَلَبٍ یَنْقَلِبُونَ }, he began to weep so much that it seemed to me as if his chest was being crushed.

Hazrat Ya'la (may Allah be pleased with him) bin Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his mother, who used to grind kohl for Abdullah bin Amr, that Abdullah bin Amr used to extinguish the lamp and weep until his eyes became damaged.

Hazrat Abdullah narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) instructed me to recite (the Qur'an) to him. I said, "Should I recite it to you while it has been revealed to you?" He (peace be upon him) replied, "I desire to hear it from someone else." Abdullah says that I began reciting Surah An-Nisa until I reached { فَکَیْفَ إذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ کُلِّ أُمَّۃٍ بِشَہِیدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِکَ عَلَی ہَؤُلاَئِ شَہِیدًا }. Then I raised my head, or someone nudged me from one side, and I saw that his (the Prophet's) tears were flowing.

It is narrated in a marfu’ form from Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) in the same manner.
