Arabic (Original)
وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَلَّهُ أَشَدُّ فَرَحًا بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ حَيْثُ يَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ كَانَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ فَانْفَلَتَتْ مِنْهُ وَعَلَيْهَا طَعَامُهُ وَشَرَابُهُ فَأَيِسَ مِنْهَا فَأَتَى شَجَرَةً فَاسَتَظَلَّ فِي ظِلِّهَا قَدْ أَيِسَ مِنْ رَاحِلَتِهِ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِذَا هُوَ بِهَا قَائِمَةً عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ مِنْ سُرُورِهِ كَلِمَةً أَنْتَ عَبْدِي وَأنا رَبُّكَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَلَّهُ أَشَدُّ فَرَحًا بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ حَيْثُ يَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ كَانَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ فَانْفَلَتَتْ مِنْهُ وَعَلَيْهَا طَعَامُهُ وَشَرَابُهُ فَأَيِسَ مِنْهَا فَأَتَى شَجَرَةً فَاسَتَظَلَّ فِي ظِلِّهَا قَدْ أَيِسَ مِنْ رَاحِلَتِهِ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِذَا هُوَ بِهَا قَائِمَةً عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ مِنْ سُرُورِهِ كَلِمَةً أَنْتَ عَبْدِي وَأنا رَبُّكَ
English Translation
And with his chain of narration, he said: The Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) stated: «Allah is more joyful at the repentance of His servant when he repents to Him than one of you who was on his riding camel and it ran away from him, carrying his food and drink. He gave up hope of finding it and came to a tree and sat in its shade, having despaired of his mount. While he was in that state, suddenly it appeared standing before him. Out of extreme joy, he said: 'You are my servant and I am your lord' — making a mistake due to his overwhelming happiness.»
