Abu Umama Sudayy ibn ‘Ajlan al-Bahili reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to me, said, “There is nothing which Allah Almighty loves more than two drops and two steps: a drop of tears shed out of fear of Allah and a drop of blood shed in the way of Allah. And the two steps are a step in the way of Allah Almighty and a step towards one of the obligations of Allah Almighty.” [at-Tirmidhi]
