Sahih al-Jami al-Saghir — Hadith 5030

«لله أشد فرحا بتوبة عبده حين يتوب إليه من أحدكم كان على راحلته بأرض فلاة فانفلتت منه وعليها طعامه وشرابه فأيس منها فأتى شجرة فاضطجع في ظلها قد أيس من راحلته فبينما هوكذلك إذ هوبها قائمة عنده فأخذ بخطامها ثم قال من شدة الفرح: اللهم أنت عبدي وأنا ربك! أخطأ من شدة الفرح»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Allah Almighty is more pleased with the repentance of His servant, when he turns to Him in repentance, than one of you who was on his mount in a desolate land and it escaped from him, carrying his food and drink. He despaired of it, then came to a tree and lay down in its shade, having despaired of his mount, when suddenly he saw it standing beside him. He took hold of its halter and then, out of the intensity of his joy, said: 'O Allah, You are my servant and I am Your Lord!' He made this mistake out of the intensity of his joy."
