The Holy Quran 40:7 — Surah Ghafir

Arabic text

ٱلَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ ٱلْعَرْشَ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ رَبَّنَا وَسِعْتَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ رَّحْمَةً وَعِلْمًا فَٱغْفِرْ لِلَّذِينَ تَابُوا۟ وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ سَبِيلَكَ وَقِهِمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Translation

The angels carrying the Throne, as well as those around them, glorify the praises of their Rabb, believe in Him, and seek forgiveness for those who have Imaan. (They make du'aa saying,) "O our Rabb! Your mercy and knowledge encompass (embrace) everything. So forgive those who repent and who follow Your path. And save them from the punishment of the Blaze (Jahannam)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The angels seek forgiveness for the believers: in the preceding verses the wretched state of the criminals and deniers was described. Here, in contrast to them, the excellence and honour of the believers and the repentant are described.
