Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

When the time of death approached for Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: I have been concealing from you a hadith I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (due to some expediency), (now I will narrate it). I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "If you do not commit sins, Allah will create a creation that will commit sins, and Allah will forgive them."
