[6207] 25 - (2400) It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "When 'Abdullâh bin Ubayy bin Salûl died, his son 'Abdullâh bin 'Abdullâh came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and asked him to give him his garment, so that he might shroud his father in it, and he gave it to him. Then he asked him (ﷺ) to offer the funeral prayer for him, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ stood up to offer prayers for him. 'Umar stood up and caught hold of the garment of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, will you offer the funeral prayer for him when Allâh has forbidden you to pray for him?' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Rather Allâh has given me the choice.' He said: "Whether you ask forgiveness for them (hypocrites) or ask not forgiveness for them – (and even) if you ask seventy times for their forgiveness..."[1] And I will ask more than seventy times.' He said: 'But he is a hypocrite.' "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ offered the funeral prayer for him, then Allâh, Glorified and Exalted is He, revealed (the Verse): "And never pray (funeral prayer) for any of them (hypocrites) who dies, nor stand at his grave..."[2]

25 - (2400) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ ابْنُ سَلُولَ جَاءَ ابْنُهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَأَلَهُ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُ قَمِيصَهُ أَنْ يُكَفِّنَ فِيهِ أَبَاهُ، فَأَعْطَاهُ، ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ؟ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ فَأَخَذَ بِثَوْبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ وَقَدْ نَهَاكَ اللهُ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّمَا خَيَّرَنِي اللهُ فَقَالَ: اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ، إِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً وَسَأَزِيدُ عَلَى سَبْعِينَ " قَالَ: إِنَّهُ مُنَافِقٌ، فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ} [التوبة: 84]
