Abu Umama reported the Prophet (ﷺ) as saying, “Nothing is dearer to Allah than two drops and two marks, a drop of tears from fear of Allah and a drop of blood shed in Allah’s path. Regarding the two marks, they are a mark received in Allah’s path and one caused by observing one of the ordinances of Allah most high.”* * This is said to refer to such things as hacks in hands or feet through performing ablution in cold weather, or a mark on the forehead through prostrating oneself on hot ground, or having dust on one’s feet while performing pilgrimage. Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying this is a hasan gharib tradition.
