Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Bearers of the Throne praise Allah and pray for forgiveness for the BelieversAllah tells us that the angels who are close to Him, the bearers of the Throne, and the angels who are around Him -- all glorify the praises of their Lord. They combine glorification (Tasbih) which implies that He is free of any shortcomings, with praise (Tahmid) which is an affirmation of praise.وَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ(and believe in Him,) means, they humbly submit themselves before Him.
