The conduct of The Prophet (PBUH) with sinners.
The Companions of the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, had the greatest respect for the limits set by Allah and the greatest consciousness of Him. Even though they had a great fear of sins and stayed away from them, they were humans and some of them were deceived by Satan and their own desires, which caused them to commit sins. However, they would quickly repent and return to Allah if they fell into sins, even if this required them to sacrifice their lives for the sake of being saved from the punishment of Allah. Therefore, we should examine the conduct of the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, regarding his Companions who committed sins. Allah ordered the sinners in the time of the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, to come to him, so he would ask Allah to forgive them.
Allah Says (what means)
«And if, when they wronged themselves, they had come to you, [O Muhammad], and asked forgiveness of Allah and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah Accepting of repentance and Merciful.»
[Quran: 4:64]
So they did not come
to the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, to forgive them, but rather so that he would ask Allah to forgive them.
