Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: ((So Adam received words from his Lord, and He turned to him in forgiveness. Indeed, He is the One who repeatedly accepts repentance, the Merciful)), and a discussion on repentance and its categories.

The Shaykh : I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed. Allah the Exalted said: meaning that when Allah cast these words upon him, he accepted and took them. These words are the saying of Allah the Exalted: and His saying: This contains the attribution of Lordship to Adam, and it is the specific Lordship. And His saying: Who is the doer? Allah, meaning His Lord turned to him in forgiveness. And repentance is: the lifting of accountability and the pardon of the sinner when he returns to his Lord, the Exalted. This phrase is the reason for His saying: because this is the requirement of these two great names: , and His saying: is the separating pronoun, which indicates restriction and emphasis. Here we do not say: separation between the news and the attribute, because what precedes the attribute, or what precedes what may be an attribute, is a pronoun, and the grammarians say that a pronoun is not described, nor is it described by something else. So we benefit from the separating pronoun here with only two benefits: emphasis and restriction.
And His saying: is a form of exaggeration from the verb "to repent," and that is because of the abundance of Allah the Exalted's acceptance of repentance from the servants. How much is the repentance of Allah toward us, toward each individual among us, and how much is the repentance considering the individuals of the repentant? Therefore, Allah named Himself "the One who repeatedly accepts repentance." Know that Allah the Exalted has two types of repentance for His servant: the first repentance is before the servant's repentance, and it is: the facilitation of repentance. The second repentance is: the acceptance of repentance. Meaning, He facilitates for the servant to repent, so he repents, and then Allah turns to him in forgiveness. Both are in the Qur'an. Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, said: "He turned to them so that they might repent." So this first repentance is the repentance of facilitating repentance, "so that they might repent," meaning so that they might repent to Allah, and then Allah turns to them in forgiveness with the repentance of acceptance. As for the repentance of acceptance, it is in the saying of Allah the Exalted: So "the One who repeatedly accepts repentance" is a form of exaggeration from "to repent," and the repentance of Allah the Exalted is of two categories, or two types: the first is the facilitation of repentance, and the second is the acceptance of repentance, and both are in the Great Qur'an.
meaning the possessors of the vast mercy that reaches whom He wills of His servants. And on this basis, is included within , because if is mentioned alone, or is mentioned alone, one of them is included within the other. And if both are mentioned together, then is considered in terms of the attribute, and is considered in terms of the action.
