Musnad Ahmad 18423

Translation

✧ 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.'
