Hadith #211
Arabic Text
قَالَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَلَّهُ أَفْرَحُ بِتَوْبَةِ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنْ رَجُلٍ خَرَجَ بِأَرْضٍ دَوِّيَّةٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدِيثَيْنِ أَحَدَهُمَا عَنْ نَفْسِهِ وَالْآخَرَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَهْلَكَة
ٍ مَعَهُ رَاحِلَتُهُ عَلَيْهَا زَادُهُ وَطَعَامُهُ وَشَرَابُهُ وَمَا يُصْلِحُهُ فَأَضَلَّهَا فَخَرَجَ فِي طَلَبِهَا حَتَّى إِذَا أَدْرَكَهُ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ أَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَكَانِي الَّذِي أَضْلَلْتُهَا فِيهِ فَأَمُوتُ فِيهِ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ فَغَلَبَتْهُ عَيْنُهُ فَاسْتَيْقَظَ فَإِذَا رَاحِلَتُهُ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ عَلَيْهَا زَادُهُ وَطَعَامُهُ وَشَرَابُهُ وَمَا يُصْلِحُهُ
Isnad Chain
قال وقال رسول الله
عبد الله حديثين أحدهما
نفسه والآخر
رسول الله
English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) — via the same chains — that he said: 'And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah is more delighted at the repentance of one of you than a man who set out in a desolate, deadly land with his mount carrying his provision, food, drink, and all that he needs — he lost it and went in search of it until, when death was about to overtake him, he said: I will return to the place where I lost it and die there. He returned, sleep overcame him, and when he woke up, his mount was at his head carrying his provision, food, drink, and all that he needs.' Abu Mu'awiya noted: They both [chains] said: ''Abdullah narrated to us two hadiths — one from himself and the other from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.'
