Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَلَّهُ أَشَدُّ فَرَحًا بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ أَنْ يَسْقُطَ عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ وَقَدْ أَضَلَّهُ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَاةٍ وَحَدَّثَ بِذَلِكَ شَهْرٌ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ.
English Translation
Abd al-Samad told us: Umar ibn Ibrahim told us: Qatada told us, from Anas, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Allah is more joyful at the repentance of His servant than one of you would be at finding his camel again after having lost it in a barren land. And Shahr narrated the like of that from Abu Hurayrah.
