In explaining the Divine Name al-Mu’min in verse 59:23,

Ruzbihan al-Baqli (604 A.H.) said,

وصف نفسه بانه مأمن الخائفين بقوله ٱلْمُؤْمِنُ

He described Himself as the refuge of the fearful by saying “al-Mu’min”

In the tafsir attributed to Ibn Arabi (d. 638 A.H.) it says,
المؤمن لأهل اليقين بإنزال السكينه

He brings tranquility/safety to the those who have certainty by bringing down the Sakeena.

Ismail Haqqi Bursawi (d. 1127 A.H.) said,

المؤمن اى الموحد نفسه بقوله

{ شهد الله انه لا اله الا هو }

al-Mu’min, meaning the one who declares His own Unity in (the verse): “Allah bears witness (shahida) that there is no god but He.” So said al-Zajjaj, or Wahib.

الأمن وهو طمأنينة النفس وزوال الخوف قال ابن عباس رضى الله عنهما هو الذى آمن الناس من ظلمه وآمن من آمن من عذابه وهو من الايمان الذى هو ضد التخويف كما فى قوله تعالى

{ وآمنهم من خوف }
Amn is the peace of mind and the removal of fear. Ibn Abbas (r.a) said, “He is the one from whom people fear no injustice, and the believer is secure from His punishment” and it is from iman which is the opposite of “to frighten”, as in His saying, Most High, “And He made them safe from fear”.

وعنه ايضا انه قال اذا كان يوم القيامة اخرج أهل التوحيد من النار واول من يخرج من وافق اسمه اسم نبى حتى اذا لم يبق فيها من يوافق اسمه اسم نبى قال الله لباقه أنتم المسلمون وانا السلام وأنتم المؤمنون وانا المؤمن فيخرجهم من النار ببركة هذين الاسمين

And it is also reported from him that he said, “After the Day of Resurrection, He takes the people of tawhid who are in the Fire out of it, and the first to come out are those whose names are like those of Prophets, until when there is no one else whose name is like that of a Prophet, Allah says to the rest, ‘You are the Muslims and I am al-Salam, and you are the believers (mu’minoon) and I am al-Mu’min‘ so He takes them out of the Fire by the blessing of these two names.”
