Moshe's request to go into Israel was answered when he Prayed

 The gemora (Berachos 32b) says Moshe's request to go into \Israel  was answered when he prayed. Though this seems to contradict the Torah which says G-d did not agree with him  “Enough! Never speak to Me of this matter again! Devarim (3:26). The Chasam Sofer explains that Moshe asked for two things 1(To see all of Israel  2) To enter into Israel. He was granted the first request only. 

Berachos (32b) R. Eleazar said: prayer is more efficacious even than good deeds, for there was no-one greater in good deeds than Moses our Master, and yet he was answered only after prayer, as it says, Speak no more unto Me, and immediately afterwards, Get thee up into the top of Pisgah.
