Numan bin Bashir reported,

Allah is more delighted with the repentance of His servant than a man who loaded his provisions and water-skins onto his camel, then traveled until he reached a barren stretch of land where the midday heat overtook him. He dismounted under a tree, and sleep overcame him. His camel slipped away. When he woke, he ran east but saw nothing. He ran east a second time but saw nothing. He ran east a third time but saw nothing. So he returned to the spot where he had rested, and while he was sitting there, his camel suddenly came walking up to him until it placed its halter in his hand. Allah is more delighted with the repentance of His servant than this man was when he found his camel just as it had been.

عن النعمان بن بشير قال

الله أشد فرحا بتوبة عبده من رجل حمل زاده ومزاده على بعير، ثم سار حتى كان بفلاة من الأرض فأدركته القائلة، فنزل تحت شجرة، فغلبته عينه وانسل بعيره، فاستيقظ فسعى شرقا فلم ير شيئا، ثم سعى شرقا ثانيا لم ير شيئا، ثم سعى شرقا ثالثا فلم ير شيئا، فأقبل حتى أتى مكانه الذي قال فيه، فبينما هو قاعد إذ جاءه بعيره يمشي حتى وضع خطامه في يده. فالله أشد فرحا بتوبة العبد من هذا حين وجد بعيره على حاله.
