Crying

Crying in a dream sometimes signifies joy and sometimes sorrow.

Seeing oneself cry loudly and wail, striking one's face, speaking out, and tearing one's collar or clothing signifies crying in this manner while awake.

Crying out of fear of Allah, while listening to the Qur'an, or while remembering one's faults signifies relief, joy, and a good outcome.

Crying also signifies fear of Allah Most High and the descent of mercy, and for people in need it may signify rain, for mercy descends where there are tears. The source describes crying as a precious treasure.

Abu Sa'id al-Wa'iz said: Seeing a person one knows die and crying over them signifies that the matter will occur as seen, and signifies grief and sorrow.

Seeing tears stream from one's eyes without actually crying signifies attaining one's wish and joy.

Ja'far al-Sadiq said: Seeing oneself cry and then laugh signifies that death is near, because the world is like a prison for the believer and leaving it brings joy.
