4672. Narrated Ibn 'Umar رضي الله عنهما: When 'Abdullāh bin Ubayy died, his son 'Abdullāh bin 'Abdullāh came to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ who gave his shirt to him and ordered him to shroud his father in it. Then he stood up to offer the funeral prayer for the deceased, but 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb took hold of his (the Prophet's) garment and said, "Do you offer the funeral prayer for him though he was a hypocrite, and Allāh has forbidden you to ask forgiveness for hypocrites?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allāh has given me the choice (or Allāh has informed me) saying: 'Whether you (O Muḥammad ﷺ) ask forgiveness for them (hypocrites) or ask not forgiveness for them — (and even) if you ask seventy times for their forgiveness — Allāh will not forgive them...' (V.9:80) Then he added, "I will (appeal to Allāh for his sake) more than seventy times." So Allāh's Messenger ﷺ offered the funeral prayer for him and we, too, offered the prayer along with him. Then Allāh revealed: "And never (O Muḥammad ﷺ) pray funeral prayer for any of them (hypocrites) who dies, nor stand at his grave. Certainly they disbelieved in Allāh and His Messenger, and died while they were Fāsiqūn [rebellious, disobedient to Allāh and His Messenger (ﷺ)]." (V.9:84)

4672 - حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ المُنْذِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ، جَاءَ ابْنُهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَعْطَاهُ قَمِيصَهُ، وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُكَفِّنَهُ فِيهِ، ثُمَّ قَامَ يُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ فَأَخَذَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الخَطَّابِ بِثَوْبِهِ، فَقَالَ: تُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ مُنَافِقٌ، وَقَدْ نَهَاكَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَسْتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ؟ قَالَ: " إِنَّمَا خَيَّرَنِي اللَّهُ - أَوْ أَخْبَرَنِي اللَّهُ - فَقَالَ: {اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ، أَوْ لاَ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ، إِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً فَلَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ} [التوبة: 80] فَقَالَ سَأَزِيدُهُ عَلَى سَبْعِينَ " قَالَ: فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَصَلَّيْنَا مَعَهُ، ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ: {وَلاَ تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا، وَلاَ تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ إِنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، وَمَاتُوا وَهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ} [التوبة: 84]
