I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say:

"By Him in Whose hand is my soul"—or "By Him in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad"—
0:39
"if you were to commit sins until your transgressions filled all that is between the heavens and the earth,
0:45
and then you sought Allah's forgiveness, He would surely forgive you.
0:49
By Him in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad"—or "By Him in Whose hand is my soul"—
0:55
"if you did not commit sins, Allah would bring forth a people who commit sins,
1:00
and then seek Allah's forgiveness, and He would forgive them."

It was said to Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him):
1:13
"Should not one of us feel ashamed before his Lord—seeking forgiveness for his sins,
1:17
only to repeat them, then seeking forgiveness again, and then repeating them?"
1:22
He replied:
1:23
"Satan wishes he could conquer you through this mindset,
1:27
so never grow weary of seeking forgiveness."
1:30
It is also narrated from him that he said:
1:33
"I view this as nothing other than the true character of the believers."
1:37
Meaning that whenever a believer commits a sin, he repents.
