Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
1215. Commentary: Weeping out of fear of Allah is the true objective of prayer. Worship is for the tearful eye. The essence of prayer is that the heart becomes overwhelmed with fear of the Almighty, awe of Allah, remembrance of the Hereafter, and the recollection of Paradise and Hell, so that tears flow from the eyes. However, if one weeps due to some personal pain, the loss of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), or the memory of someone else, then this is contrary to the purpose of prayer.

904. Commentary:
In the narration of Sunan al-Nasa'i, it is mentioned that from within him there was a sound like the boiling of a pot. [حديث 1215]
And this is a special characteristic of the believers: "When the verses of Allah are recited to them, they fall down in prostration and weep." [سورة مريم 57]
And this state is attained only through the quality of faith and reflection upon the verses, and this does not invalidate the prayer, even if one weeps audibly.
