بَابُ فِي الأمْرِ بِالتَّوْبَةِ وَفَرْحِ اللَّهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ بِهَا بعَبْدِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِChapter: On the command to repent and Allah Almighty's joy at His believing servant's repentance
Hadith 10155
اُردوEn
عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ نَحْوَهُ وَفِيهِ ((فَإِذَا هُوَ بِهَا تَجُرُّ خِطَامَهَا فَمَا هُوَ بِأَشَدَّ بِهَا فَرَحًا مِنَ اللَّهِ بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ إِذَا تَابَ))
A similar hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him), but its wording is slightly different: Thus, the mount was standing by him and pulling its reins. The happiness that Allah Almighty feels due to His servant’s repentance, this man was not happier than that.
