so anyone whose error results, for example, from neglecting his duty to follow the Quran and adhere to faith, from transgressing Allah’s limits by taking a path He has forbidden, or from following his own desires without guidance from Allah, is wronging himself and is among those subject to the threatened punishment. This is unlike one who strives to obey Allah and His Messenger inwardly and outwardly n, seeking the truth through diligent effort as Allah and His Messenger have commanded. Such a person’s error is forgiven, as Allah Most High says:

“The Messenger believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, as do the believers. They all believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, and His messengers: ‘We make no distinction between any of His messengers.’ And they say, ‘We hear and obey. Grant us Your forgiveness, our Lord.’”

Up to His words:

“Our Lord, do not hold us accountable if we forget or make a mistake.”
[al-Baqarah: 285–286]

It is authentically reported in Sahīh Muslim “from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, that Allah said, ‘I have done so.’”

Likewise, it is authentically reported there, in the hadith of Ibn ʿAbbās, “that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, never recited any portion of these two verses or Sūrat al-Fātihah without being granted what it asked for.”

This shows that this supplication is answered for the Prophet and the believers, and that Allah does not hold them accountable if they forget or make a mistake.

As for the questioner’s statement:

“Under these circumstances, does this constitute imposing an obligation beyond one’s capacity?”
