Sayyidah Aishah Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: Habib bin al-Harith came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, I am a man who sins much. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Habib, repent to Allah Almighty." He said: O Messenger of Allah, I repent and then commit the same sin again. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whenever you commit a sin, repent as well." He said: O Messenger of Allah, in that case my sins will become many. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Habib bin al-Harith, Allah Almighty's pardon is greater than your sins."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains Nuh bin Dhakwan, who is da'if (weak).
