Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, in the hadith of intercession, Jesus (peace be upon him) says:
go to Muhammad as Allah has forgiven his past and future sinsاذهبوا إلى محمد فقد غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبه وما تأخر،
Sahih al-Bukhari 6565
What is the situation of the other prophets? Have they been forgiven for what came before of their sins and what came after?

Answer:
Allah knows best; we do not know. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him):
That Allah may forgive for you what preceded of your sin and what will followلِّيَغْفِرَ لَكَ اللَّهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِن ذَنبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ
[Al-Fath 48:2]
Yes.
