The question: crying during prayer, what is its legitimacy and virtue?

What was the way the Messenger ﷺ cried during prayer?

In the books of heart-softening and asceticism, there are reports about the crying of some of the early generations. Are these to be followed? If they differ, if.

If they differ from what is narrated about the way the Messenger ﷺ cried, such as raising the voice or fainting.

And should I advise someone who becomes weak when hearing the Quran to strengthen his heart and be patient until he reaches a state of perfection?

Yes, the Messenger ﷺ used to cry in prayer sometimes, and the sahaba used to cry.

But it was not a forced kind of weeping.

Nor did it cause him to fall, nor.

Lose his mind as happened with those who came later, no, they remained with their minds intact.

And you do not have what they had. Abdullah ibn al-Shikhkhir, may Allah be pleased with him, said:

The Prophet ﷺ while he was praying.

And his chest would make a sound like the boiling of a pot from weeping.

And Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, when he led the people in prayer,

they could not hear him because of his weeping, may Allah be pleased with him.

And Umar would weep until his sobbing could sometimes be heard from behind the rows.

Other than that, this weeping is not spoken.

Rather, it overtakes a person because of his humility before Allah.

And his reflection on the words of Allah, this indicates great goodness and contains great virtue.

As for the one who lags behind, making noise and distracting people, this is not appropriate.

And even worse than this is showing off and seeking reputation, and this is a great affliction.

As for the crying that overtakes a person, he should try to compose himself.

And be patient and endure, so that nothing comes from him that harms others.

And from this, there is no falling down, no wildness, or anything else because of these tears.

He is criticized, so he is patient and endures, and you hear his sobbing and the effect of his crying.

Just as it was heard from the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions, there is nothing wrong with that.

And we saw Abdullah do it once while he was not in prayer.

He recited to him the beginning of soera an-Nisa.

By his command ﷺ. When Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, reached His saying, the Exalted,

So how will it be when We bring from every umma a witness,

and We bring you as a witness over these.

O Muhammad, the Prophet ﷺ said: That's enough.

Ibn Mas'ud said: I looked at him, and when I turned to him, I saw his eyes were shedding tears ﷺ.

Crying happens from the Prophet ﷺ and from others.

Out of humility, sadness, or remembering the situation of the Day of Judgment.

Or because of the terrors of the Fire, or other reasons.

Or being moved during supplication, or fear of Allah when reciting verses about fear, and other such reasons.

Remaining steadfast is part of the way of the messengers, prophets, and the righteous.

But one should endure in it and not give up.

He said, he is tested with.

The mind is lost, as happens to a soefi and those like them.

No, he should not do that. He should be patient and endure, as the righteous do.

In this umma, and he strives for it.

He says, due to his strength, that he should not raise his voice in a way that burdens the people.

And distracts them.

Or what matters to him is hearing and the lights, humility.

And repetition and reflection, recitation, yes, according to his ability, yes.
