Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Hazrat Hasan Al-Basri (Rahmatullahi ‘alayh) was sitting on the upper floor
of a Masjid, reciting the Qur’aan Shareef. …Introspecting about the past and meditating
on the Hereafter, his heart softened and tears gushed out from his eyes. A few tear
drops fell on a person who was sitting on the ground floor of the Masjid.
Looking up, he asked Hazrat Hasan Al-Basri (Rahmatullahi ‘alayh): “Is this
clean water, brother?”
Hazrat Hasan Al-Basri humbly responded: “Brother, go and clean your
cloths. Those are the tears of a sinner.”
