Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَبَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏.‏ وَحَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ اللَّهُ أَفْرَحُ بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ سَقَطَ عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ، وَقَدْ أَضَلَّهُ فِي أَرْضِ فَلاَةٍ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Ishaq informed us: Habban informed us: Hammam narrated to us: Qatadah narrated to us: Anas ibn Malik narrated to us, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Hudbah narrated to us: Hammam narrated to us: Qatadah narrated to us, from Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Allah rejoices more at the repentance of His servant than one of you who finds his camel after losing it in a desolate land.
