regarding the possibility that the messengers may commit sins?

The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : In any case, we see that discussing this is not good. What do we have to do with the sins of the messengers from which they repented and Allah granted them repentance? When a person commits a sin and repents, his rank with Allah the Exalted is raised. He feels shame before Allah and recognizes his own standing, knowing that he is one who is prone to falling short, so his condition becomes more upright. This is unlike if he remained in a state of obedience without such reflection; he would be like water flowing in an irrigation channel, unaffected by anything. So I dislike discussing this, but sometimes necessity compels us. Yes? What is permissible?
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, there is no harm... in prostration. What is forbidden in prostration and bowing is reciting the Qur'an. Yes.
