Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is forgiveness divided into two categories: one that is sought only from Allah, and another that is sought from the created being, based on His saying, the Exalted:[At-Taghabun 64:14]
Answer:
The original seeking of forgiveness is only from Allah. As for "and you forgive," this is in the category of information, not in the category of command. Forgiveness is from Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Yes.

But if you pardon and overlook and forgive - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
