The Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), narrates that she said: "Sayyiduna Habib bin al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I am a man who commits sins often. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Repent to Allah, O Habib.' He said: O Messenger of Allah! I repent and then go back (to sin). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Then whenever you sin, repent (at once).' He said: O Messenger of Allah! Then my sins will become many. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'O Habib bin al-Harith! Allah's pardon is far greater than your sins.'"
This hadith is not narrated from Hisham bin Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) except with this chain, and Isa bin Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it.
