Right at the end of the Surah the Holy Quran teaches Muslims to make a special Dua or prayer asking for forgiveness on commission of some act because of forgetfulness or neglect or mistake. It says,
Then it was further said,
This is referring to the severe restrictions that had been placed on the Bani Isra'il (Israelites), such as, a piece of cloth could not be made fully pure unless cut or burnt, or that repentance could not be accepted without killing. Alternatively, it could mean that punishment should not be visited upon us in this world, as it was visited upon previous communities.
Allah Almighty bestowed His best when He promised the acceptance of all these prayers through His Rasool, the last among the Prophets, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
From Ma'ariful Quran, by Mufti Muhammad Shafi Rehmatullah Elaih
"رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذۡنَاۤ اِنۡ نَّسِيۡنَاۤ اَوۡ اَخۡطَاۡنَا"
"Our Lord, do not hold us accountable, if we forget or make a mistake."
Then it was further said,
"رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحۡمِلۡ عَلَيۡنَاۤ اِصۡرًا كَمَا حَمَلۡتَهٗ عَلَى الَّذِيۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِنَا ۚرَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلۡنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهٖ"
"Our Lord, do not place on us a burden such as You have placed on those before us. And our Lord, do not make us bear that for which we have no strength."
This is referring to the severe restrictions that had been placed on the Bani Isra'il (Israelites), such as, a piece of cloth could not be made fully pure unless cut or burnt, or that repentance could not be accepted without killing. Alternatively, it could mean that punishment should not be visited upon us in this world, as it was visited upon previous communities.
