Hazrat Bahz bin Hakeem narrates from his father and his grandfather, who says: I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! Where do you command me to go?"

So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him):“What is making you weep?”Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! What has made me weep is that previously we were increasing in our religion (in hope). But when this religion has become complete, the fact is that whenever something becomes complete, then it begins to decline. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“You have spoken the truth.”

It is narrated from Hasan that he says: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There are no drops more beloved to Allah Almighty than these two drops: one is the drop of blood that falls in the way of Allah, and the other is the tear that falls from the eye of a person out of fear of Allah, who stands before Allah in the middle of the night. And there are no sips more beloved to Allah than these two sips: one is the painful and distressing sip which a person accepts with good patience and endurance, and the other is the sip of anger which a person restrains."
