"Allah does not charge a soul except within its capacity," meaning except for what it can bear; and this is concerning the whispers of the soul (hadith al-nafs). "Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or made a mistake." His saying: "if we have forgotten," refers to that for which the servant fears sin—that he might forget to act upon what he has been commanded to do.
﴿لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وسعهَا﴾ إِلَّا طاقتها؛ وَهَذَا فِي حَدِيث النَّفس ﴿رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِنْ نَسِينَا أَو أَخْطَأنَا﴾ قَوْله: ﴿إِن نَسِينَا﴾ هَذَا فِيمَا يتخوف فِيهِ العَبْد المأثم، أَن ينسى أَن يعْمل بِمَا أَمر بِهِ،
