Commentary on 40:7
وأما قوله تعالى حكاية عن ملائكته: ﴿رَبَّنا وسِعْتَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ رَحْمَةً﴾ فهذه رحمة الصفة التي وسعت كل شيء كما قال تعالى: ﴿وَرَحْمَتِي وسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ﴾
وسعتها عموم تعلقها بكل شيء كما أن سعة علمه تعالى عموم تعلقه بكل معلوم.
(فائدة)
وهو سبحانه يقرن بين سعة العلم والرحمة كما يقرن بين العلم والحلم فمن الأول قوله: ﴿رَبَّنا وسِعْتَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ رَحْمَةً وعِلْمًا﴾
ومن الثاني: ﴿واللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَلِيمٌ﴾
فما قرن شيء إلى شيء أحسن من حلم إلى علم ومن رحمة إلى علم.
وحملة العرش أربعة اثنان يقولان سبحانك اللهم ربنا وبحمدك لك الحمد على حلمك بعد علمك واثنان يقولان سبحانك اللهم ربنا وبحمدك لك الحمد على عفوك بعد قدرتك فاقتران العفو بالقدرة كاقتران الحلم والرحمة بالعلم لأن العفو إنما يحسن عند القدرة وكذلك الحلم والرحمة إنما يحسنان مع العلم.

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.
