Imam Sadiq (as) said: Amirul Momineen (as) and some of his companions passed by Kerbala. When he passed by it, his eyes were filled with tears and he said: This is where they will descend from their mounts. This is where they will unpack. This is where their blood will be shed. Glad tidings to you, O land! The blood of the loved ones will be spilled on your grounds.” (Kamil al-Ziyrat h. #10)
Imam Baqir (as) said: Humans, Jinns, birds and beasts; all shed tears for Husain bin Ali (as). (Kamil al-Ziyarat h. # 1)
Imam Sadiq (as) said: Imam Husain said, “I am the martyrs of tears. No believer remembers me without weeping.”
Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Every single thing has a measure or a weight, except for tears; for one drop of them can extinguish seas of Fire. If an eye is filled with tears, the face will never be burdened with neediness or humiliation; and if it floods with tears then Allah will make it unlawful for the Fire to touch it. Indeed, if a teary man cries for a community, they all receive mercy.’ Mizan al-Hikmah h. 4454
