[2:207] But there are other men who sell themselves, desiring God's pleasure; and God is Gentle with His servants.
Those whom the properties of mercy reached and the prior events of fate raised up, prefer the good pleasure of the Real over themselves and submit entirely to their Protector (mawlā). God is gentle with His servants and because of His Gentleness they attain these states - they do not deserve His Gentleness because of these states.
