This hadith explains the importance of seeking forgiveness from Allah. It teaches us that even if we make mistakes or sin, we should always turn to Him in repentance and ask for His mercy and forgiveness. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is reminding us that no matter how many times we make mistakes, our Lord is always willing to forgive us as long as we sincerely repent for our wrongdoings.
