حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ، وَبَهْزٌ الْمَعْنَى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، قَالَ: أَظُنُّهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: " سَافَرَ رَجُلٌ بِأَرْضٍ تَنُوفَةٍ، قَالَ حَسَنٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: يَعْنِي فَلَاةً، فَقَالَ: تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ، وَمَعَهُ رَاحِلَتُهُ، وَعَلَيْهَا سِقَاؤُهُ، وَطَعَامُهُ، فَاسْتَيْقَظَ فَلَمْ يَرَهَا، فَعَلَا شَرَفًا، فَلَمْ يَرَهَا، ثُمَّ عَلَا شَرَفًا، فَلَمْ يَرَهَا، ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ، فَإِذَا هُوَ بِهَا تَجُرُّ خِطَامَهَا، فَمَا هُوَ بِأَشَدَّ بِهَا فَرَحًا مِنَ اللهِ بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ إِذَا تَابَ " قَالَ بَهْزٌ: " عَبْدِهِ إِذَا تَابَ إِلَيْهِ "، قَالَ بَهْزٌ: قَالَ حَمَّادٌ: أَظُنُّهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (١)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Nu'man (may Allah be pleased with him), probably as a marfu' hadith, that a man set out on a journey along a forest path. On the way, he took a nap under a tree, and with him was his mount on which his food and drink were placed. When the man woke up, he did not see his mount. He climbed a high hill to look, but did not see the mount. Then he climbed another hill, but still did not see the mount. Then he turned back and suddenly saw his mount, dragging its reins and coming towards him. How happy would he be! But his happiness is not greater than the happiness of Allah when a servant repents before Allah and Allah becomes pleased.
