The believer sees his sins as though he were at the foot of a mountain, fearing it will fall upon him, while the wicked man sees his sins as a fly that landed on his nose, which he waves away like this, and it flies off.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah rejoices more at the repentance of one of you than a man who set out into a desolate, perilous land."Abu Muawiya said, the two narrators told us that Abdullah related two reports, one from himself and the other from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.He had his mount with him, carrying his provisions, his food, his drink, and everything he needed, but he lost it. He went out searching for it until, when death was about to overtake him, he said, "Let me return to the spot where I lost it and die there." So he went back, and his eyes overcame him. When he awoke, there was his mount right beside his head, with his provisions, food, drink, and all that he needed.
