الذين يحملون عرش الرحمن من الملائكة ومَن حول العرش ممن يحف به منهم، ينزِّهون الله عن كل نقص، ويحمَدونه بما هو أهل له، ويؤمنون به حق الإيمان، ويطلبون منه أن يعفو عن المؤمنين، قائلين: ربنا وسعت كل شيء رحمة وعلمًا، فاغفر للذين تابوا من الشرك والمعاصي، وسلكوا الطريق الذي أمرتهم أن يسلكوه وهو الإسلام، وجَنِّبْهم عذاب النار وأهوالها.
