Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is the one who panics when a calamity befalls him and whose state becomes disturbed considered to be lacking in his faith in divine decree?
Answer:
No, this is not the case if he does not wail, but only sheds tears and his heart is grieved. Allah does not punish for that. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 924. However, he is punished for this, meaning his tongue, or he is shown mercy. Yes.

Allah does not punish for the tears that the eye sheds or the grief the heart feels
إن الله لا يعذب بدمع العين وحزن القلب
