said: {God is more joyful at the repentance of someone when he turns to
Him in repentance than one of you would be if he were riding his camel in the
wilderness, and it runs away from him, carrying his food and drink, so that he
loses all hope of getting it back. He comes to a tree and lies down in its
shade (awaiting death), for he has lost all hope of finding his camel.
Then, while he is in that state (of desperation), suddenly it is there before
him! So he seizes its halter and cries out from the depth of his joy, “O
God, You are my servant and I am Your Lord!” His mistake comes from the
intensity of his joy.}
