The Prophet ﷺ once said:
“Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His slave than anyone of you is pleased with finding his camel which he had lost in the desert.”
Picture the traveller in the desert. His water and provisions are on the camel, and when he wakes to find it gone, despair sets in. He searches, fails, and lies down to wait for death. Then he turns around and finds the camel standing there with everything still on its back. The Prophet ﷺ chose this image because it captures a joy so overwhelming that the man cannot contain it. But to Allah SWT belongs the HIGHEST example.
