It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty is far more delighted with the repentance of His servant than a man who suddenly comes upon his camel, which he had lost in a barren desert."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Umar bin Ibrahim except Shadh."
