Exegesis of the verse: ((Those who say, "Our Lord, indeed we have believed, so forgive us our sins and protect us from the punishment of the Fire"))

He said: This is an explanation not for the servants in general, because not all servants are described with these attributes, but the righteous among them are those who are described with these attributes. His saying: By this, he means speaking with the tongue and believing with the heart, because when Allah the Exalted mentions the word "faith" without specifying otherwise, it refers to speaking with the tongue and believing with the heart. The evidence for this is His saying, the Exalted: Since the intended meaning of this statement was speaking with the tongue only, He said: However, when Allah mentions a person's speech in a general sense, He intends by it faith, which is speaking with the tongue and believing with the heart. For this reason, He, Glory and Exaltation be to Him, said: He does not want us to say that with our tongues only, but with our tongues and our hearts. He does not want us to say that with the tongue only, but with the tongue and the heart. So, With what? With their tongues only? No, with their tongues in utterance and with their hearts in belief, meaning conviction. And His saying: How did they seek nearness to Allah through His Lordship? By informing Him of their state regarding their faith in Him, as if they are saying: "Our Lord, we have believed, but we did not reach faith except through Your Lordship over us, that specific Lordship which necessitates complete care." They say: Pay attention. He said, "Those who say, 'We have believed,'" the statement is correct without a doubt, but if they say: This is like indicating that they did not reach faith except by the necessity of this specific Lordship which necessitates complete care. The sentence here is emphasized. By what is it emphasized? By one thing, which is "indeed we," because the second "na" is a pronoun. So they emphasize their faith. We have believed in what? In everything in which faith is obligatory.
