[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "A man traveled in a barren land. He sat under a tree with his mount and provisions. He fell asleep, and when he woke up, he found his mount gone. He climbed a hill and saw nothing. He climbed another hill and saw nothing. He climbed another hill and saw nothing." He said: "Then, he turned around and saw his mount coming towards him, carrying its saddle. He felt more joy with it than if Allah had given him a repenting servant."  

الدارمي:٢٧٧٠أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ النُّعْمَانِ هُوَ ابْنُ بَشِيرٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «سَافَرَ رَجُلٌ فِي أَرْضٍ تَنُوفَةٍ» فَقَالَ «تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ وَمَعَهُ رَاحِلَتُهُ عَلَيْهَا زَادُهُ وَطَعَامُهُ فَاسْتَيْقَظَ وَقَدْ ذَهَبَتْ رَاحِلَتُهُ فَعَلَا شَرَفًا فَلَمْ يَرَ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ عَلَا شَرَفًا فَلَمْ يَرَ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ عَلَا شَرَفًا فَلَمْ يَرَ شَيْئًا» قَالَ «فَالْتَفَتَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِهَا تَجُرُّ خِطَامَهَا فَمَا هُوَ بِأَشَدَّ فَرَحًا بِهَا مِنَ اللَّهِ بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ إِذَا تَابَ إِلَيْهِ»
