It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the time of his death approached, he said: I used to conceal a hadith from you, which I myself heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you do not commit sins, Allah Almighty will create people who will commit sins, and then Allah Almighty will forgive them.
