Hadith on Quran: The Prophet weeps as Quran is recited

Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to me, “Recite to me.” I said, “O Messenger of Allah, I recite to you while it was revealed to you?” The Prophet said, “Yes.” I recited Surat al-Nisa until I reached this verse, “How will it be when We bring a witness from every nation and We bring you as a witness over these?” (4.:41). The Prophet said, “Enough for now!” I turned to him and saw his eyes welling with tears.

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اقْرَأْ عَلَيَّ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ آقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَيْكَ أُنْزِلَ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَرَأْتُ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ إِلَى هَذِهِ الآيَةِ فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلاَءِ شَهِيدًا قَالَ حَسْبُكَ الآنَ فَالْتَفَتُّ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا عَيْنَاهُ تَذْرِفَانِ
