This is a ḥasan gharīb ḥadīth.--------------------------------------------
= Hārūn, from al-Walīd ibn Jamīl, with this chain of transmission.

The first part of it is corroborated by what Ibn al-Mubārak transmitted in *al-Zuhd* (672), and through him al-Qudāʿī (1308), from a man, from al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "...And no drop is more beloved to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, than a drop of tears shed out of fear of Allah, or a drop of blood spilled in the path of Allah, Mighty and Majestic." This is weak due to the anonymity of the man who narrated it from al-Ḥasan, and moreover it is *mursal*.
