Is it permissible to say that angels weep at the departure of a righteous girl, and is there any Shar'i (Islamic legal) evidence for that?

It cannot be definitively affirmed that a girl truly heard the angels weeping, but it is not improbable that it could be an honor bestowed upon her due to her uprightness and diligence in reciting the Quran. As for the weeping of angels, there is no sound evidence for it, and the mentioned in this regard is mursal (lacking a complete chain of narration) and mawdu' (fabricated). Nevertheless, it is not impossible for them to weep out of awe of God, but this matter cannot be spoken of based on opinion or personal reasoning ().
