Does crying remove sins?

Regarding the Question of Crying and Sin Erasure

Concerning the notion that crying out of fear for Allah can absolve one of past sins or even prevent future ones, we have not encountered any specific texts to support this view. However, it is important to note that such tears may signify genuine repentance, and true repentance has the power to erase all previous sins. Ultimately, Allah is the most knowledgeable.
