Sahih Muslim, 6955

Harith b. Suwaid said:I went to see 'Abdullah to inquire about his health as he was sick and he narrated to us a hadith of Allahs Messenger (ﷺ). He heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His believing servant than a person who loses his riding beast carrying food and drink. He sleeps (being disappointed of its recovery) and then gets up and goes in search for that, until he is stricken with thirst. then comes back to the place where he had been before and goes to sleep completely exhausted placing his head upon his hands waiting for death. And when he gets up, lot there is before him his riding beast and his provisions of food and drink. Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His servant than the recovery of this riding beast along with the provisions (of food and drink)

Rapporté par Harith b. Suwaid : Je suis allé voir ‘Abdullah pour prendre de ses nouvelles car il était malade, et il nous a rapporté un hadith du Messager d’Allah ﷺ. Il a entendu le Messager d’Allah ﷺ dire : « Allah est plus heureux du repentir de Son serviteur croyant qu’une personne qui perd sa monture chargée de nourriture et de boisson. Il s’endort, désespéré de la retrouver, puis se lève et part à sa recherche jusqu’à ce qu’il soit épuisé par la soif. Il revient alors à l’endroit où il était, s’endort complètement épuisé, la tête sur ses mains, attendant la mort. Et quand il se réveille, voilà que sa monture et ses provisions sont devant lui. Allah est plus heureux du repentir de Son serviteur que cet homme ne l’est en retrouvant sa monture avec sa nourriture et sa boisson. »
