"The tears that fall from the eyes of a truthful Believer, out of the
fear of the Lord, and, then, roll down his face, however little they
are, even of the size of a fly [i.e., just one drop], shall prevent
the Fire of Hell from [touching] his face."
[Ibn Majah]
Commentary
It shows that the face that gets wet, at any time, with tears shed in
response to the fear of the Lord will remain protected from the Fire
of Hell.
As we have explained earlier, when the happy tidings of protection
against the Fire of Hell are given in a Tradition, as a result of
performing a virtuous deed, it, generally, means that it isthe
characteristic attribute of that deed, and God will keep him safe from
the infernal Fire who will carry it out provided that he is not guilty
of a mortal sin which calls for the punishment of Fire, or if he has
ever committed a sin entailing damnation, he has offered sincere
repentance for it and resolved not to do it again.
It must not be taken for an attempt at explaining away a difficulty
but even in our common parlance such a condition is supposed to be
implied with a promise or assurance of that kind. - - ▓███▓
