If You Did Not Sin, Allah Would Bring People Who Sin and Seek Forgiveness
وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ لَمْ تُذْنِبُوا لَذَهَبَ اللَّهُ بِكُمْ وَلَجَاءَ بِقَوْمٍ يُذْنِبُونَ فَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ اللَّهَ فَيَغْفِرُ لَهُمْ

Translation
Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "By the One in whose Hand is my soul, if you did not sin, Allah would replace you with people who would sin and then seek Allah's forgiveness, and He would forgive them."
