Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘If weeping does not come naturally to you, force yourself [to weep], for even if a tear as small as a flys head is shed by you, then congratulations to you.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنْ لَم يُجِبْكَ البُكاءُ فَتَباكَ، فإنْ خَرجَ مِنكَ مِثلُ رأسِ الذُّبابِ فَبَخٍ بَخٍ .
