Forgiveness for mistakes

Arabic

إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَجَاوَزَ عَنْ أُمَّتِي الْخَطَأَ وَالنِّسْيَانَ وَمَا اسْتُكْرِهُوا عَلَيْهِ.

Commentary

A foundational legal maxim: liability is tied to intention and choice. Forget to make wuḍūʾ and pray? Repeat it and no sin. Compelled to say a word of disbelief under threat? Not held against you. The heart is the judge.
