Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:
Allah is more pleased with the repentance of a servant as he turns towards Him for repentance than one among you upon a camel in a waterless desert when (that camel) with his provision of food and drink is lost by him, and he, having lost all hope (to get it,) lies down in the shadow disappointed about his camel, and there suddenly he finds that camel standing before him. He takes hold of his nose string and then out of boundless joy says: O Lord, You are my servant and I am Your Lord. He commits this mistake out of extreme delight.
