قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ} [الشورى: 25]

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Allah is more delighted with the repentance of His servant than one of you who finds his lost camel in a barren land where he fears that it may die of hunger."  

الكبرى للنسائي:١١٤١١أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَلَّهُ أَفْرَحُ بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ مِنْ أَحَدِكِمْ قَدْ أَضَلَّ رَاحِلَتَهُ فِي أَرْضٍ مَهْلَكَةٍ يَخَافُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَهُ الْجُوعُ»
