أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ يُوسُفَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ الْقَطَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«اللَّهُ أَفْرَحُ بِتَوْبَةِ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنْ رَجُلٍ بِأَرْضٍ دَوِّيَّةٍ مَهْلَكَةٍ وَمَعَهُ رَاحِلَتُهُ عَلَيْهَا زَادُهُ وَطَعَامُهُ وَمَا يُصْلِحُهُ فَأَضَلَّهَا فَخَرَجَ فِي طَلَبِهَا حَتَّى إِذَا أَدْرَكَهُ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ أَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَكَانِي فَأَمُوتُ فِيهِ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ الَّذِي أَضَلَّهَا فِيهِ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ غَلَبَتْهُ عَيْنُهُ فَاسْتَيْقَظَ فَإِذَا رَاحِلَتُهُ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ عَلَيْهَا زَادُهُ وَمَا يُصْلِحُهُ فَاللَّهُ أَفْرَحُ بِتَوْبَةِ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ»

✧ “Allah is more joyful at the repentance of one of you than a man in a desolate, deadly land who has with him his mount carrying his provisions, food, and what sustains him. He loses it, so he goes out in search of it until death overtakes him. He says, ‘I will return to my place and die there.’ So he returns to the place where he lost it. While he is like that, sleep overcomes him, and he wakes to find his mount at his head, carrying his provisions and what sustains him. Allah is more joyful at the repentance of one of you than this man.”
