حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ يَعْنِي الْحَرَّانِيَّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ
وَاللهِ لَلَّهُ أَشَدُّ فَرَحًا بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ فِي فَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ، فَأَوَى إِلَى ظِلِّ شَجَرَةٍ فَنَامَ تَحْتَهَا، فَاسْتَيْقَظَ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ رَاحِلَتَهُ، فَأَتَى شَرَفًا فَصَعِدَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَشْرَفَ فَلَمْ يَرَ شَيْئًا، ثُمَّ أَتَى آخَرَ فَأَشْرَفَ فَلَمْ يَرَ شَيْئًا، فَقَالَ: أَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَكَانِي الَّذِي كُنْتُ فِيهِ، فَأَكُونُ فِيهِ حَتَّى أَمُوتَ، قَالَ: فَذَهَبَ فَإِذَا بِرَاحِلَتِهِ تَجُرُّ خِطَامَهَا قَالَ: فَاللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَشَدُّ فَرَحًا بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ مِنْ هَذَا بِرَاحِلَتِهِ

✧ By Allah, Allah is more intensely joyful at the repentance of His servant than a man who was on a journey in a desolate land, took shelter in the shade of a tree and slept beneath it, then woke up and did not find his mount. He went to a high place, climbed it, looked out, and saw nothing. Then he went to another, looked out, and saw nothing. He said, 'I will return to the place where I was, and remain there until I die.' He said, 'He went back, and behold, his mount was there, dragging its halter.' He said, 'Allah, Mighty and Majestic, is more intensely joyful at the repentance of His servant than this man at his mount.'
