And the softness of the heart is from the characteristics of the believer. And from the effects of the softness of the heart is that it brings about tears.

Indeed, if the heart softens, the eyes flow with tears.

And it comes down out of the fear of Allah ﷻ. Due to this, our Lord said in Al-Ma’idah:83:

When they listen to what has been sent down to the Messenger you see their eyes overflowing with tears…
