أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ النُّعْمَانِ هُوَ ابْنُ بَشِيرٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«سَافَرَ رَجُلٌ فِي أَرْضٍ تَنُوفَةٍ» فَقَالَ «تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ وَمَعَهُ رَاحِلَتُهُ عَلَيْهَا زَادُهُ وَطَعَامُهُ فَاسْتَيْقَظَ وَقَدْ ذَهَبَتْ رَاحِلَتُهُ فَعَلَا شَرَفًا فَلَمْ يَرَ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ عَلَا شَرَفًا فَلَمْ يَرَ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ عَلَا شَرَفًا فَلَمْ يَرَ شَيْئًا» قَالَ «فَالْتَفَتَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِهَا تَجُرُّ خِطَامَهَا فَمَا هُوَ بِأَشَدَّ فَرَحًا بِهَا مِنَ اللَّهِ بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ إِذَا تَابَ إِلَيْهِ»

✧ "A man traveled in a desolate land," he said, "and stopped under a tree, with his mount carrying his provisions and food. Then he woke up and his mount had gone. He climbed a high place and saw nothing; then he climbed another high place and saw nothing; then he climbed another high place and saw nothing." He said, "Then he turned around and there it was, dragging its halter. He was not more joyful at finding it than Allah is at the repentance of His servant when he turns to Him in repentance."
