4675. Narrated Al-Mūsaiyab: When Abū Ṭālib's death approached, the Prophet ﷺ went to him while Abū Jahl and 'Abdullāh bin Abī Umaiyya were present with him. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O uncle, say: 'La ilāha illallāh' (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh) so that I may argue for your case with it before Allāh." On that, Abū Jahl and 'Abdullāh bin Abī Umaiyya said, "O Abū Ṭālib! Do you want to renounce 'Abdul-Muṭṭalib's religion?" Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "I will keep on asking (Allāh for) forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden to do so." Then there was revealed: "It is not (proper) for the Prophet (ﷺ) and those who believe to ask for Allāh's forgiveness for Al-Mushrikūn [polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allāh and in His Messenger Muhammad (ﷺ) even though they be of kin, after it has become clear to them that they are the dwellers of the Fire..." (V.9:113)

4675 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ المُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: لَمَّا حَضَرَتْ أَبَا طَالِبٍ الوَفَاةُ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَعِنْدَهُ أَبُو جَهْلٍ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَيْ عَمِّ، قُلْ: لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ أُحَاجُّ لَكَ بِهَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ "، فَقَالَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ: يَا أَبَا طَالِبٍ أَتَرْغَبُ عَنْ مِلَّةِ عَبْدِ المُطَّلِبِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَأَسْتَغْفِرَنَّ لَكَ مَا لَمْ أُنْهَ عَنْكَ»، فَنَزَلَتْ: {مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَوْ كَانُوا أُولِي قُرْبَى، مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ أَصْحَابُ الجَحِيمِ} [التوبة: 113]
