بَابُ فِي الأمْرِ بِالتَّوْبَةِ وَفَرْحِ اللَّهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ بِهَا بعَبْدِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِ
Chapter: On the command to repent and Allah Almighty's joy at His believing servant's repentance
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 10155 — On the command to repent and Allah
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.
