Heart's piety over outward weeping

Hadith #1

أَبِي رَحِمَهُ اَللَّهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْعَزِيزِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ ع يَا عَلِيَّ بْنَ عَبْدِ اَلْعَزِيزِ لاَ يَغُرَّنَّكَ بُكَاؤُهُمْ فَإِنَّ اَلتَّقْوَى فِي اَلْقَلْبِ.

My father, Allah may have mercy upon him, narrated to us from Sa’d bin Abdullah… from Ali bin Abdil-Aziz that Abu Abdullah said to him: O Ali bin Abdil-Aziz, do not be deceived by their weeping. God-fearing is surely in the heart.
