The Shaykh :“And those who remember [Allah] are upon different ranks, and the highest of them are those who possess faith and knowledge”
Of what? “Of His exalted attributes”.
Those who remember [Allah] are upon different ranks according to what is in their hearts of magnifying Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and attaching themselves to Him. The highest of them are those who possess faith and knowledge of His exalted attributes, meaning the highest of them are those who believed in the attributes of Allah and knew the attributes of Allah. These are the highest of the people of dhikr in rank, the highest rank.
“Of His exalted attributes when they engage in praising Allah in secret and in public”
Yes. Ah? If? Of His exalted attributes, if they engaged in praising Allah. In our view, it is “if,” which is what completes the verse.

“And the most special of the people of dhikr with the Most Merciful *** are those who know them best; they are the choice of the Most Merciful”
Who are the most special of the people of dhikr with Allah? Those who know the attributes of Allah best.
