أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَمِيلٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ ؓ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:
" لَلَّهُ أَفْرَحُ بِتَوْبَةِ الْعَبْدِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ مَعَهُ رَاحِلَتُهُ بِفَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ عَلَيْهَا زَادُهُ وَطَعَامُهُ، فَأَتَى أَصْلَ شَجَرَةٍ فَتَوَسَّدَ ذِرَاعَ نَاقَتِهِ، فَقَامَ فَانْتَبَهَ وَقَدْ ذَهَبَتْ نَاقَتُهُ، فَأَتَى شَرَفًا فَصَعِدَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرَهَا، ثُمَّ أَتَى شَرَفًا آخَرَ حَتَّى فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ مِرَارًا، فَقَالَ: ارْجِعْ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي كُنْتُ فِيهِ حَتَّى أَمُوتَ، فَرَجَعَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِرَاحِلَتِهِ تَجُرُّ خِطَامَهَا عَلَيْهَا زَادُهُ، فَلَلَّهُ أَشَدُّ فَرَحًا بِتَوْبَةِ الْعَبْدِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ بِرَاحِلَتِهِ

✧ “Allah is more pleased with the repentance of a servant than a man who has his riding camel with him in a desolate land, carrying his provisions and food. He came to the base of a tree and lay down with his forearm as a pillow, using the camel’s foreleg as support. Then he stood up and woke up, and his camel had gone. He went to a high place, climbed it, and did not see it. Then he went to another high place, until he did that several times. Then he said: ‘I will return to the place where I was until I die.’ So he returned, and behold, there was his camel, dragging its halter, with his provisions still on it. Allah is more intensely pleased with the repentance of a servant than that man with his camel.”
