So He, glorified and exalted is He, indicated it by His saying, in preference to the people of glad tidings and warnings: "So those who believed" meaning they acknowledged faith, "and did righteous deeds" meaning in confirmation of their claims, "for them is forgiveness" for what they have fallen short in, due to the fact that no one can truly estimate Allah as He deserves to be estimated.
