Ayah: 58

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنۡعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مِن ذُرِّيَّةِ ءَادَمَ وَمِمَّنۡ حَمَلۡنَا مَعَ نُوحٖ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّةِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ وَمِمَّنۡ هَدَيۡنَا وَٱجۡتَبَيۡنَآۚ إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ خَرُّواْۤ سُجَّدٗاۤ وَبُكِيّٗا۩

58. These are the ones on whom Allah bestowed Favors, from among the Prophets of the offspring of Adam, and of those whom We carried (in the Ship) with Noah, and of the descendants of Abraham and Israel (Jacob), and of those whom We guided and chose. When the Verses of (Allah) the Most Compassionate were recited to them, they fell down prostrating and weeping⁹.

9. The Prophet Muhammad (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:  "Two eyes will not be touched by the Fire: an eye which has wept out of fear of God, and an eye which has spent the night guarding in the cause of God."  
When a person remembers the greatness of Allah, His power over His servants, and, at the same time, he recalls his own state and his negligence in fulfilling the rights of Allah upon him, he weeps in hope of receiving Allah's Mercy and in fear of His Wrath and Punishment. Such a person is promised to be saved from the Hellfire.
