The Pleasure of Repentance

SUMMARY: Allah is more pleased with the repentance of a person than a person is when finding their lost animal.

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: "Allah is more delighted with the repentance of one of you, than one of you is, when finding his lost animal".
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لَلَّهُ أَفْرَحُ بِتَوْبَةِ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ بِضَالَّتِهِ إِذَا وَجَدَهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَالنُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ وَأَنَسٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ بِإِسْنَادٍ لَهُ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ نَحْوَ هَذَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of repentance in Islam. It conveys that Allah is more delighted with the repentance of one of His servants than one would be when finding their lost animal. This means that Allah loves it when we turn back to Him and ask for forgiveness for our sins, and He will forgive us if we sincerely repent. It also shows us how much Allah cares about us, as He rejoices in our return to Him even more than we would rejoice in finding something precious that was lost. We should take this hadith as an encouragement to always turn back to Allah and seek His forgiveness whenever we make mistakes or sin, knowing that He will accept our repentance and forgive us if we are sincere.
