Abu Musa Ashari reported,

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah rejoices more at the repentance of His servant who has gone to excess against himself than a man who travels through a desolate, perilous wasteland. When he reaches its midst, his mount wanders off. He searches for it right and left until he is exhausted, or has given up hope of finding it, and is certain he is going to perish. Then he looks and finds it in a place where he had no hope of finding it. Allah عز وجل rejoices more at the repentance of His wayward servant than that man rejoices over his mount when he finds it."

Sahih

عن أبي موسى قال

قال رسول الله ﷺ: الله أفرح بتوبة عبده الذي قد أسرف على نفسه من رجل سافر في أرض فلاة معطبة مهلكة، فلما توسط أضل راحلته، فسعى في بغائها يمينا وشمالا حتى أعيي، أو أيس- منها، وظن أن قد هلك، نظر فوجدها في مكان لم يكن يرجو أن يجدها، فالله عز وجل أفرح بتوبة عبده المسرف من ذلك الرجل براحلته حين وجدها.
