Is there a sound report in the Sunnah regarding seeking refuge from "an eye that does not weep"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The hadith of Zayd ibn Arqam, as it appears in some of its wordings:
and an eye that does not weepومن عين لا تدمع
?

Answer:
Yes, in some narrations it is:
and an eye that does not weepومن عين لا تدمع
; because the weeping of the eye is due to the fear of Allah, just as in the authentic hadith:
There are seven whom Allah will shade in His shade on the day on which there is no shade except His shadeسبعة يظلهم الله في ظله يوم لا ظل إلا ظله
Muwatta Malik 51:14
—and he mentioned the seventh among them—
and a person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes are then flooded with tears.ورجل ذكر الله خاليًا ففاضت عيناه
Sahih al-Bukhari 660
and another hadith:
There are two eyes that shall not be touched by the Fire: An eye that wept from the fear of Allah, and an eye that spent the night standing on guard in the cause of Allah.عينان لا تمسّهما النار، عين بكت من خشية الله، وعين سهرت في سبيل الله
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1639Hasan (Darussalam)
