The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What would you say about the joy of a man whose riding camel has escaped from him, dragging its reins in a barren land where there is neither food nor drink, while it carries his provisions of food and drink? He searches for it until exhaustion overtakes him, then it passes by the trunk of a tree, its reins become entangled, and he finds it caught there."We said, "Intense joy, Messenger of Allah."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By Allah, Allah is even more joyful at the Tawba of His servant than that man is over his camel."
قال رسول الله ﷺ: كيف تقولون بفرح رجل انفلتت منه راحلته، تجر زمامها بأرض قفر ليس بها طعام ولا شراب، وعليها له طعام وشراب، فطلبها حتى شق عليه، ثم مرت بجذل شجرة فتعلق زمامها، فوجدها متعلقة به؟ قلنا: شديدا، يا رسول الله فقال رسول الله ﷺ: أما والله أشد فرحا بتوبة عبده، من الرجل براحلته.
