Well I thought no human being can be sinless because Muhammad (PBUH) and Jesus (PBUH) prayed for forgiveness. When Muslims pray we normally make a Dua'a and pray for forgiveness and a place in heaven and to keep away from the Dajjal etc etc.

So that made me jump to the conlusion that prophet Muhammad (PBUH) made at least some sins because he prayed a lot more than just 5 times a day, and Isa (Jesus) PBUH also prayed like us Muslims pray.

But since Marco100 said "Mistakes and sin are not the same" this now makes me think that he was sinless (infallible) but made some mistakes which Allah did not like.
What I want to know is what were the mistakes he made?

Salam aleykum

The Prophets all prayed for forgiveness, because they are examples to us normal people. Allah says in the last verse in Surah Kahf (and many more but kahf is the first one that comes to mind) : 'Say (Muhammad): I am a human being just like you ..'. This shows that the Prophets were just normal people, but they were lucky enough to be inspired by Allah, and Muhammad (for example) was picked to be a prophet because of how perfect he was, and how he was such a great and pure person.

The biggest mistake Muhammad (pbuh) made was when a blind man approached him, and asked him a question (or tried to talk to him, i think) , but then the Prophet turned his back to the blind man.

Allah tells Muhammad off in sura number 80: sura Abasa (He Frowned). In the first two ayas Allah says:
'He (the prophet) frowned and turned away. Because came to him the blind man.'
read the tafseer of the surah and read on, because the next few verses also talk about this incident.

inshallah this has helped
