Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38459 — Reports on weeping out of fear

Ibn Abi Rawwad said: A group of people accompanied Umar bin Abd al-Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him), and he said: Fear only the One Allah, who has no partner, and keep yourselves away from joking, for it gives rise to ugly talk and breeds rancor. Hold gatherings of the Qur'an and talk about matters connected with it. If this becomes heavy for you, then have some talk from among the talk of people. Go forth on the earth with the name of Allah.
