ahmad-zuhd:258ʿAbdullāh > Bī > Ḥusayn b. Muḥammad > al-Masʿūdī > ʿAlqamah b. Marthad

[Machine] "If all the people on earth cried, it would not be equal to the tears shed by David, ﷺ , when he committed a sin. And if the tears of all the people on earth and the tears of David, ﷺ , were combined, they would not be equal to the tears shed by Adam, ﷺ , when he was expelled from Paradise."  

الزهد لأحمد:٢٥٨حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أبِي أَنْبَأَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ قَالَ

«لَوْ بَكَى أَهْلُ الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا مَا عَدَلَ دُمُوعَ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ حِينَ أَصَابَ الْخَطِيئَةَ وَلَوْ أَنَّ دُمُوعَ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ وَدُمُوعَ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ جَمِيعًا مَا عَدَلَ دُمُوعَ آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ حِينَ أُهْبِطَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ»
