It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The example of a believer is like that of a horse tied with a ringed rope; it wanders around, but eventually returns to its rope. Indeed, a believer forgets, but then returns to faith."
