Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) reports that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every believer has a habit of committing some sin from time to time, or there is some sin which he persists in and does not leave until he leaves (this world). The believer has been created in a state where he is tried (that is, he falls into sin), repents abundantly, and is forgetful, but when he is reminded, he remembers."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat he recorded it in abridged form. The narrators of one of the chains of al-Mu'jam al-Kabir are thiqat (trustworthy), and the wording given is from it.
