Commentary
Allāh sent message through His beloved Messenger to those who rely on the associates and the intercessors; O my servants who wronged their souls by committing sins, polytheism and disbelief, do not seek help and reliance of others having been disappointed, rather be the seekers of His forgiveness. He ﷻ is not bothered by whoever comes for forgiveness, even if one is extremely sinful and wicked, He ﷻ grants forgiveness. There is no need of seeking means and arbitrators to approach Him, He listens to every single individual and everyone can make a direct request to Him.
