Out of that affection and thoughtfulness he felt towards the faithful,
the Prophet (saas) asked Allah to forgive their mistakes. Allah's commands
to the Prophet (saas) on that subject take the following form:

As this verse reveals, the Prophet (saas)'s prayers brought the faithful
peace and tranquility. It must not be forgotten that only Allah gives peace
and tranquility to the heart. Allah makes the prayers of His Messenger
(saas), whom He has appointed as guardian and protector of the faithful, a
means whereby they come by comfort and ease. Our Lord's love and com-
passion, and His protection and mercy for the faithful is most clearly repre-
sented in the morality of the Prophet (saas).
These words of the Prophet (saas) reminded the faithful that prayer
was an important matter:
"When you are praying do not say; 'O Allah, forgive me if You
wish. O Allah, forgive me if you wish.' You should be firm in your
asking, for there is no compelling Him." 26
