All human beings are sinners, and the best of the sinners are the frequent repenters

Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "All human beings are sinners, and the best of the sinners are the frequent repenters."

[Good hadith] [Narrated by Ibn Majah - Narrated by At-Termedhy - Narrated by Ahmad - Ad-Daarimi]

Explanation

Human beings are prone to sin, owing to their natural weakness that leads them not to observe Allah's commands and prohibitions. However, Allah, the Almighty, has opened the door of repentance for His slaves, informing that the best of sinners are those who frequently repent.

Benefits

Man naturally tends to err and fall into sin. What a believer is required to do if he commits a sin is to quickly repent.
