[6959] 6 - (2746) It was narrated that Al-Barā’ bin ‘Azīb said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘What do you say about the joy of a man whose mount has run away from him, dragging its reins in the waterless desert in which there is no food or drink, and his food and drink are on it (the camel). He looks for it until he becomes exhausted, then it passes by the trunk of a tree and its reins get caught on it, and he finds it caught there?’ We said: ‘(His joy would be) great, O Messenger of Allāh.’ The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘By Allāh, Allāh rejoices more over the repentance of His slave than this man over his mount.’” Ja’far said: “Ubaidullāh bin Iyād narrated from his father.”
