Abdullah related two accounts to me, one from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the other from himself.He said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah rejoices more over the repentance of His believing servant than a man in a desolate, deadly wasteland who has his mount with him, carrying his food and drink. He falls asleep, and when he wakes the mount is gone. He searches for it until thirst overtakes him, then he says, 'I will go back to the place where I was and sleep there until I die.' So he lays his head on his forearm to die, but he wakes to find his mount beside him with his provisions, his food, and his drink upon it. Allah rejoices more over the repentance of the believing servant than this man over his mount and his provisions."
و حدثني إسحق بن منصور حدثنا أبو أسامة حدثنا الأعمش حدثنا عمارة بن عمير قال سمعت الحارث بن سويد قال حدثني عبد الله حديثين أحدهما عن رسول الله ﷺ والآخر عن نفسه فقال قال رسول الله ﷺ لله أشد فرحا بتوبة عبده المؤمن بمثل حديث جرير
