And when what they were upon of opposition in standing was made ugly to them in relation to misguidance in the general nominal form, confirmed by various types of emphasis, and what had passed from the mention of the influx was not decisive in obligation, He indicated to them to glorify what He had guided them to of agreement by means of the tool of delay.

And He made the noble name apparent as a clarification of the station and as a notification that He is described by that which He describes Himself with in general terms, without regard to any limitation or condition. He said: ﴿Indeed, Allah﴾, the Possessor of perfection, ﴿is Forgiving﴾, meaning He conceals the sins of whoever seeks His forgiveness. ﴿And Merciful﴾, meaning He is abundant in mercy. He includes the one who seeks forgiveness among the group of the merciful, from whom no sin appears. So He acts towards them with the honor of the merciful towards the one who is shown mercy, so that the repentant from sin is like one who has no sin.
