Commentary
Indeed, we hope that He will forgive, meaning: He will cover with a profound covering. Our Lord, who has done good to us with guidance, our sins, meaning: those that we have committed despite their multitude. Then they justified their hope along with the abundance of sins by saying: that we were, meaning: a being that is for us like a natural disposition. The first of the believers, meaning: from the people of this gathering. They expressed hope as a reference to the fact that all the causes of happiness are from Him, glorified and exalted is He, so it is as if there is no cause from them at all.
