1639. Ibn 'Abbās said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying, 'There are two eyes that shall not be touched by the Fire: An eye that wept from the fear of Allāh, and an eye that spent the night standing
on guard in the cause of Allāh.”(Hasan)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] There are narrations on this topic from ‘Uthmān and Abū Raihānah.
The Hadīth of Ibn ‘Abbās is a Hasan Gharīb Hadīth, we do not know of it except through the narration of Shu’aib bin Ruzaīq.

Commentary
An eye that sheds tears from the fear of Allāh protects its owner from the invasion of his own soul as well as of Satan. An eye that stands guard in the night, likewise, protects the believers from the invasion of the enemy. As a reward for this service, the eyes are saved from Fire. However, as is obvious, the eye can only be saved from Fire if its master is saved from it.
