Mistakes By Prophets
Prophets are human beings and are prone to making mistakes. There are several examples of this in the Quran with respect to various prophets, including prophet Muhammad SAW. However, since prophets are directly guided by God, they are able to quickly correct their mistakes.
This proves that Prophets are human beings as well but subject to direct divine guidance which corrects them in case their ijtihad doesn’t align with divine will. In effect, at the end of the day, it is the divine will that they propagate (be-khata ilm). Please also refer to the video below from 10:51 to 16:40 https://youtu.be/rveZ0p1M5BA?t=651
