Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 18318a
"لَيسَ فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسْرَةٌ إِلا فِي ثَلاثٍ: رَجُلٌ كَانَ لَهُ سَقْىٌ وَلَهُ سَانِيَةٌ لِيَسْقِى عَلَيهَا أرْضَهُ، فَلَمَّا اشْتَدَّ ظَمَأُ أرْضِه، وَخَرجَ ثَمَرُهَا مَاتَتْ سَانِيَتهُ فَيَجد حَسْرَةً عَلَى سَانِيَتِه الَّذي قَدْ عَلِمَ السَّقْىُ أن لا يَجِدَ مِثْلَهَ، وَيَجدُ حَسْرَةَ عَلَى ثَمَرَةِ أرْضِه أَنْ تَفْسُد قَبْلَ أنْ يَجْثل لَهَا جَثْلَةً، وَرَجُلٌ كَانَ لَه فَرَسٌ جَوَادٌ فَلَقِى جَمْعا مِن الْكُفَّارِ، فَلَمَّا دَنَا بَعْضُهُم من بَعْض انْهَزَمَ أعْدَاءُ الله فَسَبَقَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى فَرَسِه، فَلَمَّا كَرَبَ أنْ يَلحَقَ كُسِرَتْ بِه فَرَسه، وَنَزَلَ قَائِمًا عِنْدَه يَجِدُ حَسْرَةً عَلَى فَرَسِه أن لا يَجِدَ مِثْلَه، وَيَجِد حَسْرَةً عَلَى مَا فَاتَه من الظَّفَرِ الَّذي كَانَ قَدْ أشْرَفَ عَلَيه، وَرَجلٌ تَحْتَه امْرَأةٌ قَدْ رَضِيَ هَيئَتَهَا وَدِينَهَا فَنَفسَتْ غُلامًا فَمَاتَتْ بِنَفسه فَيَجِدُ حَسْرَةً عَلَى امْرَأتِه، يَظُنُّ أنَّه لَمْ يُصَادفْ مِثْلَها وَيَجَد حَسْرَةً عَلَى وَلَدهَا يَخْشَى أَنْ يَهْلك ضَيعَةً قَبْلَ أنْ يَجِدَ لَهُ مُرْضعَةً، فَهَذه أَكْبَرَ أُولئِكَ الْحَسَرَاتِ".
Translation

"There is no regret in this world except in three: a man who had a water-wheel and a water-camel with which to water his land; when his land's thirst grew severe and its fruit came out, his water-camel died, so he feels regret over his water-camel, for he knows he will not find its like; and he feels regret over the fruit of his land that it will spoil before he can harvest it; and a man who had a swift horse, and he met a group of disbelievers. When some of them drew near to others, the enemies of Allah were routed, and the man rode ahead on his horse. When he was about to catch up, his horse stumbled and he dismounted standing beside it, feeling regret over his horse, that he will not find its like, and feeling regret over the victory that he missed, which had been almost within his grasp; and a man whose wife he was pleased with in her appearance and religion. She gave birth to a boy, but she died in childbirth, so he feels regret over his wife, thinking he will not find her like, and feels regret over his child, fearing he will perish neglected before he can find a wet nurse for him. These are the greatest of those regrets."
