The Meaning of the Hadith: Every Son of Adam Makes Mistakes

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Every son of Adam sins, and the best of the sinners are the repentant.كل ابن آدم خطاء، وخير الخطائين التوابون
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2499Da'if (Darussalam)
. Does this mean that there are no sound, complete hearts except for those whom Allah protected from among the prophets?

Answer:
Mistakes in deeds; it is in the deeds, not in the hearts. One makes mistakes in deeds, commits a sin, feels shy, or indulges in a forbidden desire. In the deeds, yes; in the hearts, no. Yes.
