Sahih Muslim, 6960

Rapporté par Anas b. Malik : Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ a dit : « Allah est plus heureux du repentir de Son serviteur lorsqu’il revient vers Lui que l’un d’entre vous ne l’est lorsqu’il est sur son chameau dans un désert sans eau, avec sa nourriture et sa boisson sur le chameau, puis il le perd. Ayant perdu tout espoir, il s’allonge à l’ombre, désespéré de retrouver son chameau, et soudain il le retrouve devant lui. Il saisit sa longe et, dans sa joie immense, il dit : “Ô Seigneur, Tu es mon serviteur et je suis Ton Seigneur.” Il se trompe ainsi à cause de sa grande joie. »

Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:Allah is more pleased with the repentance of a servant as he turns towards Him for repentance than this that one amongst you is upon the camel in a waterless desert and there is upon (that camel) his provision of food and drink also and it is lost by him, and he having lost all hope (to get tbat) lies down in the shadow and is disappointed about his camel and there he finds that camel standing before him. He takes hold of his nosestring and then out of boundless joy says: 0 Lord, Thou art my servant and I am Thine Lord. He commits this mistake out of extreme delight
