نسأل الله العفو،
We ask Allah for forgiveness,
الْعَفْوَ — for forgiveness. This is the second object of 'ask' — the thing requested, 'pardon' — also in the accusative with no 'for'. Together with the first, it shows the double-object pattern: 'we ask God pardon' = 'we ask God FOR pardon'. The accusative endings mark both as objects.
