The Book Pertaining to Repentance and Exhortation to Repentance (Kitab Al-Tauba)

Muslim :: Book 37 : Hadith 6622

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) having said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, if you were not to commit sin, Allah would sweep you out of existence and He would replace (you by) those people who would commit sin and seek forgiveness from Allah, and He would have pardoned them.
