ثم قال: ﴿ومَلائِكَتُهُ﴾ أيضا تصلي عليكم بما قد شرع لها من ذٰلك وهو قوله: ﴿رَبَّنا وَسِعْتَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ رَحْمَةً وعِلْماً فَاغْفِرْ لِلَّذِينَ تابُوا واتَّبَعُوا سَبِيلَكَ وقِهِمْ عَذابَ الْجَحِيمِ رَبَّنا وأَدْخِلْهُمْ جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ الَّتِي وَعَدْتَهُمْ ومن صَلَحَ من آبائِهِمْ وأَزْواجِهِمْ وذُرِّيَّاتِهِمْ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ وقِهِمُ السَّيِّئاتِ ومن تَقِ السَّيِّئاتِ يَوْمَئِذٍ﴾ [غافر: ٧-٩]، يعني (يوم) القيامة والمعصومين من وقوع السيئات منهم، ﴿فَقَدْ رَحِمْتَهُ وذٰلك هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ﴾ [غافر: ٩].

فهٰذا كله قول الملائكة فصلاة الملائكة علينا كصلاتنا على الجنازة سواء لمن عقل.

ثم قال: ﴿لِيُخْرِجَكُمْ﴾ بلام السبب، ﴿من الظُّلُماتِ إِلَى النُّورِ﴾ [الأحزاب: ٤٣] ابتداء منه ومنة وبدعاء الملائكة وهو هٰذا الذي ذكرناه ولذا قال ومَلائِكَتُهُ وهو قولهم: ﴿وقِهِمُ السَّيِّئاتِ﴾ فإن السيئات ظلمات.

فمنهم من يخرجهم من ظلمات الجهل إلى نور العلم؛ ومن ظلمات المخالفة إلى نور الموافقة؛ ومن ظلمات الضلال إلى نور الهدى؛ ومن ظلمات الشرك إلى نور التوحيد؛ ومن ظلمات الحجاب إلى نور التجلي؛ ومن ظلمات الشقاء والتعب إلى نور السعادة والراحة.

ثم قال: ﴿وكانَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ﴾، أي بالمصدقين، ﴿رَحِيماً﴾ [الأحزاب: ٤٣]، أي رحمهم بما صدقوا به من وجوده الذي هو أعم من التصديق بالتوحيد ثم يندرج

Then He said, “and His angels,” who also bless you in the manner prescribed for them. This is their saying, “Our Lord, You encompass everything in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who repent and follow Your way, and protect them from the punishment of the Blaze. Our Lord, admit them to the Gardens of Eden You have promised them, with those of their fathers, spouses, and descendants who are righteous. You are the Mighty, the Wise.

Whomever You protect from evil deeds on that day” [Ghafir 40:7–9], meaning the Day of Resurrection, and those protected from committing evil deeds, “You have shown mercy, and that is the tremendous triumph” [Ghafir 40:9].

All of this is the speech of the angels. For one who understands, the angels’ blessing upon us is just like our prayer over the dead.

Then He said, “to bring you out,” with the lām indicating the cause, “from darkness into light” [al-Ahzab 33:43]. This comes from His initiative and freely bestowed favor, and through the angels’ supplication, which is what we have mentioned. Hence He said “and His angels.” It is their saying, “Protect them from evil deeds,” for evil deeds are darkness.
