Sunan Ibn Majah 4247 (Book 37, Hadith 148) #33603
The Joy of Repentance

SUMMARY: Allah is more pleased when a person repents than when someone finds something they have lost.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said: "Allah rejoiced more over the repentance of anyone of you, then you rejoice over your lost animal when you find it".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا وَرْقَاءُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَفْرَحُ بِتَوْبَةِ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنْهُ بِضَالَّتِهِ إِذَا وَجَدَهَا
