A question regarding the occurrence of heedlessness in the Prophet

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
My heart is invaded by unmindfulness إنه ليغان على قلبي
Sunan Abi Dawud 1515Sahih (Al-Albani)
Does that mean that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sometimes becomes heedless of the remembrance of Allah?

The Shaykh : how

The questioner : He said:
I seek forgiveness from Allah a hundred times a day. He said: Indeed, it is veiled from my heart إني أستغفر الله في اليوم مئة مرة قال إنه ليغان على قلبي


The Shaykh : It is veiled from my heart

The questioner : It is veiled

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : Does that mean that he becomes heedless at times?

The Shaykh : No, perhaps... the veiling means that a person experiences sadness or... or something similar that does not allow his chest to open up; this is what is meant.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : It is not necessary... a person's heart may become weary with...

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : No, a person is constantly committing sins; a person is in a state of constant heedlessness regarding Allah; a person is in heedlessness and in sins of speech, sins of action, sins of the mind, sins of hearing, and sins of smelling; how numerous are the sins!

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : If Allah forgives a person, then everything is over, yes.
