“Allah rejoices more over the repentance of His slave, than a
man
who loses his mount in a barren land, and he searches for it until
he
gets tired and covers his face with his garment, and while he is
like
that, he heard the footsteps of his mount where he lost it, so he
lifts the garment from his face and there is his mount.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 37, Hadith 150
