The answer

This narration was authenticated by Al-Hakim and agreed upon by Al-Dhahabi, from Abdullah ibn Amr, who said: "Weep, and if you cannot weep, then pretend to weep. If you had known true knowledge, one of you would have prayed until his back broke, and would have wept until his voice cut off."
