The Holy Quran 47:19 — Surah Muhammad

Arabic text

فَٱعْلَمْ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ وَٱسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنۢبِكَ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مُتَقَلَّبَكُمْ وَمَثْوَىٰكُمْ

Translation

Know well that none is worthy of worship but Allaah and seek forgiveness for your shortcomings and for the Mu'mineen men and women. Allaah has knowledge of your (physical and spiritual) movements and your places of rest (Allaah is Aware of everything you do).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Explanation of the command to the Prophet ﷺ to seek forgiveness: everyone's dhanb (sin) is in keeping with his rank. Leaving the very best aspect of a deed and choosing a less good one, even though it lies within the bounds of the permissible and the commendable, is sometimes regarded as a dhanb (sin) in the case of those brought near [to Allah].
