Riyad as-Salihin, 448
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "One who weeps out of fear of Allah, will not enter the Hell till milk returns back in the udder; and the dust raised on account of fighting in the path of Allah and the smoke of Hell will never exist together". <b>[At- Tirmidhi, who classified it as Hadith Hasan Sahih]</b>.
وعن أبي هريرة، رضي الله عنه ، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، لا يلج النار رجل بكى من خشية الله حتى يعود اللبن في الضرع، ولا يجتمع غبار في سبيل الله ودخان جهنم” ((رواه الترمذي: وقال حديث حسن صحيح)).
