78 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; he said: Muhammad ibn al-Husayn also informed me, saying: “I heard Abū Jaʿfar the Qurʾān-reciter, in the middle of the night, weeping and saying:

Weep for your sin through all the hours of night, exerting yourself;
indeed, tears are the refuge of sorrows.
Forget not your sin by day, however long it lasts;
for sins surround the human being.

He would then weep profusely and keep repeating those lines.”
