Muhammad Ali explains:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; margin-left: 36pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cThe words <i>istaghr-li-dhanbi-ka <\/i>occurring here, and repeated in 47:19, do not negative the claim made repeatedly that the Prophet was sinless. Fully five times the Holy Prophet is described in the Holy Qur\u2019an as being one who purified others from sin, in 2:129, 151; 3:164; 9:103, and 62:2. How could a sinful man purify others from sins? In fact, we do not find any prophet or reformer so plainly described as a purifier of others as<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; margin-left: 36pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;\">the Holy Prophet Muhammad. Again, the Holy Prophet is repeatedly spoken of in the Holy Qur\u2019an as walking in the way of perfect righteousness and entire submission to All\u0101h. Obedience to the Messenger is obedience to All\u0101h (4:80); if you love All\u0101h, then follow me, All\u0101h will love you (3:31). In the presence of these and a hundred other statements of a similar nature, sin could not be attributed to him. A perusal of the Holy Book further proves that the Qur\u2019an does not allow us to attribute sin to any prophet: \u201cThey speak not before He speaks, and according to His command they act\u201d (21:27).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt; margin-left: 36pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;\">The significance of <i>dhanb <\/i>has already been fully explained in 3:11<i>a<\/i>. The other word occurring here is <i>istighfar<\/i>. It is of the measure of <i>istif\u2018al<\/i>, and signifies the asking of <i>ghafr <\/i>or <i>maghrah<\/i>. According to R, <i>ghafr <\/i>means <i>the covering of a thing with that which will protect it from dirt<\/i>. Hence the words <i>ghufran <\/i>and <i>maghrah <\/i>on the part of All\u0101h signify, according to the same authority, <i>His granting protection to His servants against chastisement<\/i>. And <i>istaghfara <\/i>is explained as meaning <i>he sought of God covering <\/i>or <i>forgiveness <\/i>or <i>pardon <\/i>(T, LL). It will thus be seen that the idea of protection is the dominant idea in the word <i>ghafr <\/i>and its derivatives, and the word not only signifies the <i>forgiveness of sin<\/i>, <span style=\"background: yellow;\">but also the <\/span><i><span style=\"background: yellow;\">covering of sin<\/span><\/i><span style=\"background: yellow;\">, which is really the <\/span><i><span style=\"background: yellow;\">granting of protection against sin<\/span><\/i><span style=\"background: yellow;\">.<\/span> That <i>ghafr <\/i>means <i>protection against the punishment of sin <\/i>as well as <i>protection against the commission of sin<\/i>, is made clear by Qastalani in his commentary of <i>Bukhari: Al-ghafru al-sitru wa huwa imma baina-l-\u2018abdi wa-l-dhanbi wa imma baina-l-dhanbi wa \u2018uqubatihi<\/i>, i.e., <i>ghafr <\/i>means <i>protection<\/i>, and it is either a <i>protection of the servant from sins <\/i>or a <i>protection from the punishment \u00a0of sin<\/i>. It is therefore protection <span style=\"background: yellow;\">in the first sense that is meant here, protection from sins, a protection from the imperfections of human nature, which make a man liable to sin unless he is protected by Allah.<\/span> In fact, wherever the word <i>ghafr <\/i>or <i>istighfar <\/i>is used in connection with the righteous, as in 3:17, 7:151, 17:25, 40:7, etc., it is the <span style=\"background: yellow;\">protection from sin<\/span> that is meant. See also 2:286<i>a <\/i>and 48:2<i>a<\/i>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: red; font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0 <span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;\">Qur\u2019an 48:1-2 states:<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"> \u201c<\/span><span style=\"color: purple;\">Surely We have granted thee a clear victory, That All\u0101h may <span style=\"background: yellow;\">cover for thee thy (alleged) shortcomings<\/span> in the past and those to come,<\/span><i>\u00a0<\/i><span style=\"color: purple;\">and complete His <\/span><span style=\"color: purple;\">favour to thee and guide thee on a right path.\u201d<\/span> (Notably, <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: red; font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;\">the Hadith to this verse refers to All\u0101h forgiving the Prophet his \u201cfaults\u201d NOT sin. A \u201cfault\u201d is not necessarily a sin\u2013Bokhari Vol. 6, #360-361).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"color: purple;\">\u00a0 <\/span>The highlighted words in the verse, clearly, do not refer to sin but to a \u201cshortcoming\u201d suffered in dealing with the disbelievers. As Muhammad Ali explains the background of these verses:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; margin-left: 36pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cThe victory referred to is that gained by the truce at Hudaibiyah in 6 A.H. (B.64:37). The fact that there was no actual fighting at Hudaibiyah has led many to think that the words contain a prophecy about the conquest of Makkah, which, however, is referred to later on in the third section of this chapter. The truce at Hudaibiyah was surely a real victory for the Muslims, because it opened the way for the propagation of Islam among the disbelievers, and by putting a stop to hostilities gave the opponents an occasion to ponder over the merits of the religion against which they had hitherto struggled in vain on the field of battle. As a result of this truce large numbers came over to Islam, and the words are thus prophetical, and their truth was demonstrated long after their revelation. It may be added here that \u2018Umar had some misgivings as to the good of the truce concluded at Hudaibiyah; he thought that the truce was not honourable for the Muslims, for <span style=\"background: yellow;\">the conditions to which they yielded were disadvantageous to them.<\/span> One of the conditions of the truce was that, if anyone from among the Makkans came over to the Holy Prophet, he would return him to the Quraish, though he were a Muslim, while the Quraish were not bound to return anyone who deserted the Prophet and joined the Quraish. <span style=\"background: yellow;\">The Muslims felt it very hard that one of their brethren should be returned to suffer persecution at the hands of the disbelievers; but, as the Quraish refused to make a truce unless this condition was included, the Holy Prophet accepted it.<\/span> Immediately afterwards Divine revelation dispelled all those misgivings, and declared the truce to be a great victory leading to glorious results, as it actually proved to be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt; margin-left: 36pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: 12pt;\">For <i>ghafr <\/i>meaning <i>covering <\/i>or <i>protecting<\/i>, see 2:286<i>a<\/i>. The word <i>dhanbi-ka <\/i>occurring here has been <span style=\"background: yellow;\">misunderstood as meaning <\/span><i><span style=\"background: yellow;\">thy sin<\/span><\/i><span style=\"background: yellow;\">.<\/span> In the first place <i>dhanb <\/i>means <span style=\"background: yellow;\">any <\/span><i><span style=\"background: yellow;\">shortcoming<\/span><\/i><span style=\"background: yellow;\">, not necessarily a <\/span><i><span style=\"background: yellow;\">sin<\/span><\/i>; see 3:11<i>a<\/i>. Secondly, the Prophet never committed a sin and his <i>istighfar <\/i>meant the asking of Divine protection against the commission of sins; see 40:55<i>a<\/i>. Even before he was raised to the dignity of prophethood, he was known in Arabia as <i>al-Amin <\/i>or the faithful one. <i>Dhanbi-ka <\/i>therefore here means not <i>the sin committed by thee <\/i>but <i>the sin committed against thee<\/i>, or <i>the shortcomings attributed to thee<\/i>, as <i>ithmi <\/i>in 5:29 means <i>not the sin committed by me <\/i>but <i>the sin committed against me<\/i>, for which see 5:29<i>a<\/i>. Other examples of a similar use of <i>idafah <\/i>are met with in the Holy Qur\u2019an. For instance, see 6:22, where <i>shuraka\u2019u-kum <\/i>does not mean <i>your partners <\/i>but <i>the partners set up by you<\/i>, and in 16:27 <i>shuraka\u2019i <\/i>does not mean <i>My partners <\/i>but <i>the partners which you set up with Me<\/i>. The <i>idafah <\/i>in <i>dhanbi-ka <\/i>carries a similar significance, and the word means <i>thy alleged short-comings<\/i>. It is only in this sense that we can speak of <i>sins in the past <\/i>and those <i>to come<\/i>. These were the short-comings attributed to the Prophet by his enemies, by those who were contemporaneous with him and those who were yet to come after him. Notwithstanding the fact that the Prophet was respected throughout Arabia for his righteousness and truthfulness before he laid claim to prophethood, the twenty years of opposition to the Truth which he brought had poisoned the minds of the Arabs to such an extent that they now drew a very dark picture of him, heaping all kinds of abuses on him. Their poets now indulged in vituperating him, thus poisoning the minds of the masses. The battles that were now being fought had, further, made it impossible for the Muslims to present a true picture of Islam to the Arabs. After several years of conflict, the Hudaibiyah truce brought about a change in the relations of the two parties and the truth about the Prophet now began to dawn on their minds. They now saw that the Prophet was not the man of terror as their leaders had pictured to them. They saw the great transformation which he had wrought and the life which he had infused into a dead nation. <span style=\"background: yellow;\">It was in this sense that God covered the shortcomings and failures which his opponents attributed to him<\/span>. Their effect on the public mind was removed by the Hudaibiyah truce, which gave his enemies an occasion to ponder over the beauties of Islam.
