Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(Almost might the heavens above be rent asunder) from the awe of the Beneficent; and it is also said from the claim of the Jews, (while the angels) in heaven (hymn the praise of their Lord) pray by the command of their Lord (and ask forgiveness for those on the earth) for the sincere believers. (Lo! Allah is the Forgiver) He forgives he who repents, (the Merciful) towards he who dies repentant.
