Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how is the reconciliation made between the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He,[At-Tawbah 9:113] the verse, and the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in his narration about the Prophet Sahih al-Bukhari 3477
Answer:
Yes, the Messenger did not say this seeking forgiveness for the polytheists; rather, he is narrating, he is narrating the story of a Prophet from the previous Prophets. Not everything that was in the previous laws is part of our law. We have been forbidden from seeking forgiveness for the polytheists. Yes.

مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَن يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَone of the prophets whose nation had beaten him and caused him to bleed, while he was cleaning the blood off his face and saying, "O Allah! Forgive my nation, for they have no knowledge."
