Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 19877a
"مثَلُ الرجل الذي يكونُ على سنة مِنَ الإِسْلام ثم يُفَارِقُها، ثم ينْدمُ فيتوب كَبعِير كان يعْتَمِلُه أَهْله فَينْفِرُ منهُم مرةً، ثم عقَلُوهُ وأَحْسنُوا إِليه كَما كَانوا يفْعلُونَ بِهِ أَوَّلَ مرَّةٍ".

"The example of a man who was upon the way of Islam, then left it, then regretted and repented, is like a camel that was being worked by its people, then bolted from them once. Then they tied it up and treated it well, as they used to do with it the first time."
