1633. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said, "A man who wept out of the fear of Allāh shall not enter the Fire until the milk returns to the udder; and dust in the cause of Allāh and the smoke of Hell shall not come together." (Sahih) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih. Muḥammad bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān is the freed slave of Abū Ṭalḥah, and he is from Al-Madīnah.
١٦٣٣ - حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْمَسْعُودِيِّ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَلِجُ النَّارَ رَجُلٌ بَكَى مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللهِ حَتَّى يَعُودَ اللَّبَنُ فِي الضَّرْعِ،» وَلَا يَجْتَمِعُ غُبَارٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَدُخَانُ جَهَنَّمَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هُوَ: مَوْلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ مَدَنِيٌّ.

The welling up of tears in a person's eye from the fear of Allāh is an indication of how particular he is about obeying the commands of Allāh and avoiding the things prohibited by Him. Surely, a man of this distinguished quality is of the people of Paradise. The dust of the road that rises up like smoke shall screen the raging fire of Hell. And just as it is inconceivable that milk, once taken out shall go back into the udders, it is impossible that a person fears Allāh and enters the Hellfire. The statement is an example of what we call 'attaching impossible conditions to the happening of an event'.
