English translation

1901. It was narrated that 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar said: "When 'Abdullāh bin Ubayy died, his son came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'Give me your shirt so that I may shroud him in it, and (come and) offer the (funeral) prayer for him, and pray for forgiveness for him.' So he gave him his shirt then he said: 'When you have finished, inform me and I will offer the (funeral) prayer for him.' But 'Umar stopped him and said: 'Hasn't Allāh forbidden you to offer the (funeral) prayer for the hypocrites?' He said: 'I have two options. Whether you ask forgiveness for them (hypocrites) or ask no forgiveness for them.'"[1] So he offered the (funeral) prayer for him. Then Allâh, Most High, revealed: 'And never pray (funeral prayer) for any of them (hypocrites) who dies, nor stand at his grave.'[1] So he stopped offering the (funeral) prayer for them." (Sahîh)

Arabic text

1900 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: لَمَّا مَاتَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ جَاءَ ابْنُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: اعْطِنِي قَمِيصَكَ حَتَّى أُكَفِّنَهُ فِيهِ، وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ، وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُ، فَأَعْطَاهُ قَمِيصَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِذَا فَرَغْتُمْ فَآذِنُونِي أُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ»، فَجَذَبَهُ عُمَرُ وَقَالَ: قَدْ نَهَاكَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ، فَقَالَ: " أَنَا بَيْنَ خِيرَتَيْنِ، قَالَ: اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ، أَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ "، فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: {وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ} [التوبة: 84] فَتَرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْهِمْ

Commentary

"He gave him his ﷺ shirt": it is said that this shirt, in fact, was in return for that shirt which 'Abdullâh bin Ubayy had given to the Prophet's ﷺ uncle Abbâs ؓ as a captive of the Battle of Badr.
