‘Alî (radiyAllâhu ‘anhu) would say, “The signs of the righteous are a pale complexion, bleary eyes, lips shriveling from their hunger, weeping, and wakefulness in prayer at night.”
Ka‘b al-Ahbâr (rahimahullâh) said, “I prefer to weep out of the fear of Allâh [even] with only one tear drop falling from my eyes than the spend a mountain of gold with an ungracious heart.”
