Abū Burdah bin Abī Mūsā narrated from his father, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Allāh sent down two guarantees of safety for the benefit of my Ummah: And Allāh would not punish them while you are among them, nor will He punish them while they seek forgiveness.[1] So when I pass, I leave seeking forgiveness among them until the Day of Resurrection." (Da'if)

Commentary
This Āyah highlights that the security and safety of a nation against destruction and devastation lies in two things: (i) a Prophet's existence among his people, who keeps seeking forgiveness of his Lord for his people, and he also keep inviting his people to seek forgiveness. (ii) that the people themselves are the seekers of forgiveness. If these two things are lost, then the destruction and devastation befall on the people and engulf them.
