Sunan Ibn Majah, 4249

Rapporté par Abu Sa’eed : Le Messager d’Allah (ﷺ) a dit : “Allah se réjouit plus du repentir de Son serviteur qu’un homme qui perd sa monture dans un désert, la cherche jusqu’à être épuisé, couvre son visage avec son vêtement, et alors qu’il est ainsi, il entend les pas de sa monture là où il l’a perdue, alors il enlève le vêtement de son visage et retrouve sa monture.”

It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:“Allah rejoices more over the repentance of His slave, than a man who loses his mount in a barren land, and he searches for it until he gets tired and covers his face with his garment, and while he is like that, he heard the footsteps of his mount where he lost it, so he lifts the garment from his face and there is his mount.”
