English translation
[6960] 7- (2747) Anas bin Mālik narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Allāh rejoices more over the repentance of His slave when he repents to Him than one of you who was on his mount in the wilderness, then he lost it, and his food and drink are on it, and he despairs of finding it. He goes to a tree and lies down in its shade, having lost hope of finding his mount, and while he is like that, there it is standing in front of him, so he takes hold of its reins and says – because of his intense joy: ‘O Allāh, You are my slave and I am your lord,’ making this mistake because of his intense joy.’”
