Commentary on 40:7–9
ثُمَّ أخْبَرَ بِفَضْلِ المُؤْمِنِينَ فَقالَ: ﴿الَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ العَرْشَ﴾ وهَمْ أرْبَعَةُ أمْلاكٍ، فَإذا كانَ يَوْمُ القِيامَةِ جُعِلُوا ثَمانِيَةً ﴿وَمَن حَوْلَهُ﴾ قالَ وهْبُ بْنُ مُنَبِّهٍ: حَوْلَ العَرْشِ سَبْعُونَ ألْفَ صَفٍّ مِنَ المَلائِكَةِ يَطُوفُونَ بِهِ، ومِن وراءِ هَؤُلاءِ مِائَةُ ألْفِ صَفٍّ مِنَ المَلائِكَةِ لَيْسَ فِيهِمْ أحَدٌ إلّا وهو يُسَبِّحُ بِما لا يُسَبِّحُهُ الآَخَرُ. وقالَ غَيْرُهُ: الَّذِينَ حَوْلَ العَرْشِ هُمُ الكَرُوبِيُّونَ وهم سادَةُ المَلائِكَةِ. وقَدْ ذَكَرْنا في السُّورَةِ المُتَقَدِّمَةِ مَعْنى قَوْلِهِ: ﴿يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ﴾ [الزُّمَرِ: ٧٥] .
قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿رَبَّنا﴾ أيْ يَقُولُونَ: رَبَّنا ﴿وَسِعْتَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ رَحْمَةً وعِلْمًا﴾ قالَ الزَّجّاجُ: هو مَنصُوبٌ عَلى التَّمْيِيزِ. وقالَ غَيْرُهُ: المَعْنى: وسِعَتْ رَحْمَتُكَ وعِلْمُكَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ ﴿فاغْفِرْ لِلَّذِينَ تابُوا﴾ مِنَ الشِّرْكَ ﴿واتَّبَعُوا سَبِيلَكَ﴾ (p-٢٠٩)وَهُوَ دِينُ الإسْلامِ. وما بَعْدَ هَذا ظاهِرٌ إلى قَوْلِهِ: ﴿وَقِهِمُ السَّيِّئاتِ﴾ قالَ قَتادَةُ: يَعْنِي العَذابَ.

وَتَرَى ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ حَآفِّينَ مِنۡ حَوۡلِ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّهِمۡۚ وَقُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُم بِٱلۡحَقِّۚ وَقِيلَ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٧٥
And you will see the angels surrounding the Throne, exalting [Allāh] with praise of their Lord. And it will be judged between them in truth, and it will be said, "[All] praise to Allāh, Lord of the worlds."

The people of Noah denied before them and the [disbelieving] factions after them, and every nation intended [a plot] for their messenger to seize him, and they disputed by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth. So I seized them, and how [terrible] was My penalty.
