The answer

The aforementioned hadith is weak because it is narrated solely by Abu Sakhr, who is criticized for his memory, and because the forgiveness of past and future sins is exclusive to the Prophet (peace be upon him) alone, as indicated by texts from the Quran and Sunnah, and as conveyed by scholars like Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Kathir. Nevertheless, the Prophet (peace be upon him) commanded seeking forgiveness for the sins of believing men and women and prayed for their well-being. However, this does not preclude some disobedient monotheists from being punished, though they will not remain eternally in Hellfire. The Prophet's intercession ensures that monotheists will constitute the majority of the inhabitants of Paradise and be the first to enter it.
