Al-An'am Verse 54

When the believers in Our revelations come to you, say, “Peace be upon you! Your Lord has taken upon Himself to be Merciful. Whoever among you commits evil ignorantly ˹or recklessly˺ then repents afterwards and mends their ways, then Allah is truly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

When those who believe in Our Messages come to you, say, `Peace be upon you.

And if those who believe came to you with Our verses/evidences, so say: "A greeting/peace on you, your Lord decreed on Himself the mercy, that who from you made/did bad/evil/harm with ignorance/foolishness, then he repented from after it, and corrected/repaired, so that He truly is a forgiver, merciful."

Thus do We expound Our revelations, that the way of the sinners may be made plain.

When those who believe in Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) come to you, say: "Salamun 'Alaikum" (peace be on you); your Lord has written Mercy for Himself, so that, if any of you does evil in ignorance, and thereafter repents and does righteous good deeds (by obeying Allah), then surely, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Your Lord has prescribed, He has decreed, for Himself mercy, to the effect that, truly (innahu, `truly', may also be read as annahu, `that', as a substitution for al-rahma, `mercy') whoever of you does evil in ignorance, of it when he did it, and repents thereafter, after his [evil] deed, [repents] of it, and makes amends, in his actions -- truly He, God, is Forgiving, Merciful', towards him (a variant reading [for innahu, `truly He'] has annahu, `then He'), in other words, forgiveness shall be for him.

Allah's statement,

وَإِذَا ءكَ الَّذِينَ يُوْمِنُونَ بِأيَاتِنَا فَقُلْ سَلَمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ

When those who believe in Our Ayat come to you, say;"Salamun `Alaykum" (peace be on you);

means, honor them by returning the Salam and give them the good news of Allah's exclusive, encompassing mercy for them.

So Allah said;

...
كَتَبَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ الرَّحْمَةَ

your Lord has written Mercy for Himself,

meaning, He has obliged His Most Honored Self to grant mercy, as a favor, out of His compassion and beneficence,

...
أَنَّهُ مَن عَمِلَ مِنكُمْ سُوءًا بِجَهَالَةٍ

So that, if any of you does evil in ignorance...

as every person who disobeys Allah does it in ignorance,

...
ثُمَّ تَابَ مِن بَعْدِهِ وَأَصْلَحَ

and thereafter repents and does righteous good deeds,

by repenting from the sins that he committed, intending not to repeat the sin in the future, but to perform righteous deeds,

...
فَأَنَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

then surely, He is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.

Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Messenger of Allah said,

لَمَّا قَضَى اللهُ الْخَلْقَ كَتَبَ فِي كِتَابٍ فَهُوَ عِنْدَهُ فَوْقَ الْعَرْشِ إِنَّ رَحْمَتِي غَلَبَتْ غَضَبِي

When Allah finished with the creation, He wrote in a Book that He has with Him above the Throne, `My mercy prevails over My anger'.

This Hadith was also recorded in the Two Sahihs
