Crying out of fear of Allah
① Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه narrates, the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said:
لا يلج النار رجل بكى من خشية الله حتى يعود اللبن فى الضرع ، ولا يجتمع غبار فى سبيل الله ودخان جهنم
"Whoever weeps out of fear of Allah will not enter Hellfire until the milk returns to the udder (and this is impossible), and the dust that falls on a servant in the way of Allah and the smoke of Hellfire will never come together."
Reference: Tirmidhi, Book of Jihad 1633, 2311, Nasa'i, Book of Jihad 6/12, Imam Nasa'i رحمه الله added "in the udders of a Muslim," Ibn al-Mubarak narrated it in Al-Jihad 30.
② Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنهما narrates, I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say:
عينان لا تمسهما النار : عين بكت من خشية الله ، وعين باتت تحرس فى سبيل الله
"There are two eyes which the fire of Hell will not touch: one is the eye that weeps out of fear of Allah, and the other is the eye that keeps vigil at night in the way of Allah."
Reference: Tirmidhi, Book of Jihad 1639, the narration is Hasan.
③ Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir رضي الله عنه narrates, I asked:
O Messenger of Allah! How is salvation possible? He صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said:
أمسك عليك لسانك وليسعك بيتك وابك على خطيئتك
"Control your tongue, your home should suffice you, and weep over your faults."
Reference: Tirmidhi, Book of Supplications from the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, Chapter on guarding the tongue 2406, this narration is Sahih, Ibn al-Mubarak narrated it in Al-Zuhd 143.
Being Free from Oppressions
① Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
من كانت عنده مظلمة لأخيه من عرض أو شيء فليتحلله منه اليوم قبل أن لا يكون دينار ولا درهم ، إن كان له عمل صالح أخذ منه بقدر مظلمته وإن لم يكن له حسنات أخذ من سيئات صاحبه فحمل عليه
“If a person owes the honor of his brother or any other right, let him clear himself of it today, before there is neither silver nor gold. If he has any good deeds, they will be taken according to the amount of his oppression, and if he has no good deeds, the sins of the rightful owner will be placed upon him.”

Longing to Meet Allah Almighty
① It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubada bin As-Samit رضي الله عنه that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said:
من أحب لقاء الله أحب الله لقاءه ، ومن كره لقاء الله كره الله لقاءه
"Whoever likes to meet Allah, then Allah likes to meet him, and whoever dislikes to meet Allah, then Allah dislikes to meet him."

من أحب لقاء الله أحب الله لقاءه ، ومن كره لقاء الله كره الله لقاءه
"Whoever likes to meet Allah, then Allah likes to meet him, and whoever dislikes to meet Allah, then Allah dislikes to meet him."
I asked: O Prophet of Allah! Does the dislike of death mean this? Because we all dislike death. He صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said:
ليس كذلك ، ولكن المؤمن إذا بشر برحمة الله ورضوانه وجنته أحب لقاء الله فأحب الله لقاءه
"Not like that, but when the believer is given glad tidings of Allah’s mercy, His pleasure, and His Paradise, then he likes to meet Allah, and then Allah likes to meet him."
