4249. It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Allāh rejoices more over the repentance of His slave, than a man who loses his mount in a barren land, and he searches for it until he gets tired and covers his face with his garment, and while he is like that, he hears the footsteps of his mount where he lost it, so he lifts the garment from his face and there is his mount." (Da'if)
4249 - حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ مَرْزُوقٍ، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَلَّهُ أَفْرَحُ بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ أَضَلَّ رَاحِلَتَهُ، بِفَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ، فَالْتَمَسَهَا، حَتَّى إِذَا أَعْيَا، تَسَجَّى بِثَوْبِهِ، فَبَيْنَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ سَمِعَ وَجْبَةَ الرَّاحِلَةِ حَيْثُ فَقَدَهَا، فَكَشَفَ الثَّوْبَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ، فَإِذَا هُوَ بِرَاحِلَتِهِ»
