Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38273 — Reports on weeping out of fear
٣٨٢٧٣ - حدثنا محمد بن بشر (قال) (١): حدثنا مسعر قال: (حدثني) (٢) علقمة ابن مرثد عن ابن بريدة قال: لو عُدل بكاء أهل الأرض ببكاء داود ما عدله، ولو عُدل بكاء داود وبكاء أهل الأرض ببكاء آدم حين أهبط إلى الأرض ما عدله.
It is the saying of Ibn Buraydah: If the weeping of all the people of the earth were compared with the weeping of Dawud (peace be upon him), it still could not equal it. And if the weeping of Dawud (peace be upon him) and the weeping of all the people of the earth were compared with the weeping of Adam (peace be upon him) at the time he was sent down to the earth, then the weeping of Adam (peace be upon him) would exceed it.
