It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are three eyes that the Fire will not touch: an eye that was put out (by a wound) in the way of Allah, an eye that kept guard in the way of Allah, and an eye that wept out of fear of Allah." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. It has also been narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) through another chain.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Fire has been made forbidden from reaching two eyes: an eye that wept out of fear of Allah, and an eye that spent the night awake guarding Islam and its people against the people of disbelief."
