Allah tells us that the angels who are close to Him, the bearers of the Throne, and the angels who are around Him - all glorify the praises of their Lord. They combine glorification (Tasbih) which implies that He is free of any shortcomings, with praise (Tahmid) which is an affirmation of praise. {and believe in Him,} means, they humbly submit themselves before Him. {and ask forgiveness for those who believe} means, for those among the people of earth who believe in the Unseen. Allah commanded that His angels who are close to Him should pray for the believers in their absence, so it is a part of the angels’ nature that they say Amin when a believer prays for his brother in his absence. In Sahih Muslim it says: «When a Muslim prays for his brother in his absence, the angel says, ‘Amin, and may you have something similar to it.’» Shahr bin Hawshab said, “The bearers of the Throne are eight; four of them say, ‘Glory and praise be to You, O Allah, to You be praise for Your forebearance after Your knowledge.’ Four of them say, ‘Glory and praise be to You, O Allah, to You be praise for Your forgiveness after Your power.’ When they pray for forgiveness for those who believe, they say: {Our Lord! You comprehend all things in mercy and knowledge,} {Our Lord! And make them enter the ‘Adn (Eternal) Gardens which you have promised them - and to the righteous among their fathers, their wives, and their offspring! Verily, You are the Almighty, the All-Wise.} Mutarrif bin ‘Abdullah bin Ash-Shikhkhir said, “The most sincere of the servants of Allah towards the believers are the angels.” Then he recited this Ayah: {Our Lord! And make them enter the 'Adn (Eternal) Paradises which you have promised them} He then said, “The most treacherous of the servants of Allah towards the believers are the Shayatin.” {You are the Almighty, the All-Wise.} means, ‘the One Whom none can resist or overwhelm; what You will happens and what You do not will does not happen; You are Wise in all that You say and do, in all that You legislate and decree.’ {And save them from the sins,} means, the actions and the consequences. {and whomsoever You save from the sins that Day,} means, the Day of Resurrection, {him verily, You have taken into mercy.} means, ‘You have protected him and saved him from punishment.’ {And that is the supreme success.}
