Show the chain

وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ فِي الزُّهْدِ: حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، ثَنَا أَبَانُ الْعَطَّارُ، ثَنَا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ

أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ، أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَبْكِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « مَا يُبْكِيكَ ؟ » فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ: وَاللهِ مَا جَفَّتْ لِي عَيْنٌ مُنْذُ خَلَقَ اللهُ تَعَالَى النَّارَ ; مَخَافَةَ أَنْ أَعْصِيَهُ فَيَقْذِفَنِي فِيهَا

✧ Jibrīl (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was weeping. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “What makes you weep?” He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “By Allah, my eye has not dried since Allah, the Exalted, created the Fire, out of fear that I might disobey Him and He cast me into it.”
