قَالَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَلَّهُ أَفْرَحُ بِتَوْبَةِ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنْ رَجُلٍ خَرَجَ بِأَرْضٍ دَوِّيَّةٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدِيثَيْنِ أَحَدَهُمَا عَنْ نَفْسِهِ وَالْآخَرَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَهْلَكَةٍ مَعَهُ رَاحِلَتُهُ عَلَيْهَا زَادُهُ وَطَعَامُهُ وَشَرَابُهُ وَمَا يُصْلِحُهُ فَأَضَلَّهَا فَخَرَجَ فِي طَلَبِهَا حَتَّى إِذَا أَدْرَكَهُ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ أَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَكَانِي الَّذِي أَضْلَلْتُهَا فِيهِ فَأَمُوتُ فِيهِ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ فَغَلَبَتْهُ عَيْنُهُ فَاسْتَيْقَظَ فَإِذَا رَاحِلَتُهُ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ عَلَيْهَا زَادُهُ وَطَعَامُهُ وَشَرَابُهُ وَمَا يُصْلِحُهُ.

He said: And the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Allah is more joyful at the repentance of one of you than a man who went out into a desolate land" — then Abu Mu’awiyah said: they both said: "Abdullah told us two narrations, one about himself and the other from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him" — "a perilous land, having with him his riding beast carrying his provisions, food, drink, and all he needed, and it strayed from him, so he went out searching for it, until when death was about to overtake him, he said, ‘I will return to the place where it strayed from me and die there.’" He said: "So he returned and was overcome by sleep; then he woke and found his riding beast at his head with his provisions, food, drink, and all he needed on it."
