The Value of Tears and Bloodshed for Allah

SUMMARY: Allah values tears shed out of fear and blood shed in His way, as well as marks left in the cause of Allah and marks left in observing one of the obligatory acts of worship.

Abu Umamah Sudaiy bin 'Ajlan Al-Bahili (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet said: "Nothing is dearer to Allah than two drops and two marks: A drop of tears shed out of fear of Allah and a drop of blood shed in Allah's way. Regarding the two marks, they are: Marks left in the Cause of Allah and a mark left in observing one of the obligatory act of worship of Allah, the Exalted". At-Tirmidhi, who classified it as Hadith Hasan. Al-'Irbad bin Sariyah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: One day Messenger of Allah delivered us a very eloquent Khutbah on account of which eyes shed tears and hearts became softened. Abu Dawud and At- Tirmidhi.
