Seeking forgiveness more than seventy times, following the Prophet

Question:
May Allah reward you. A hadith has been reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he sought forgiveness from Allah more than seventy times a day. My question is: Is it obligatory for us to follow him and seek forgiveness from Allah in this manner? Or is it not?

Answer:
Yes, following the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) brings much good. So, increase in seeking forgiveness. Increase in seeking forgiveness and repenting to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). If the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sought forgiveness from Allah more than a hundred times a day, and the Companions would count for him in a single gathering that he said "I seek forgiveness from Allah" more than seventy times. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: . And the Messenger was forgiven for what came before of his sin and what came after.
As for us, we have many sins, so seeking forgiveness is more urgent for us. We must increase in seeking forgiveness and repenting to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). No one is free from the need for repentance and seeking forgiveness, no matter who they are. Because you are falling short in the rights of Allah. Even if you prayed night and day, fasted for a lifetime, struggled, and did all the deeds, you are still falling short in the rights of Allah. You need to seek forgiveness for this shortcoming. Yes.
