حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ يَحْيَى فِي حَدِيثِهِ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْخَلِيلِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ. وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ: عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ:
سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا يَسْتَغْفِرُ لِأَبَوَيْهِ وَهُمَا مُشْرِكَانِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: أَلَمْ يَسْتَغْفِرْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ ؟ قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ: فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ: وَمَا كَانَ اسْتِغْفَارُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لأَبِيهِ إِلا عَنْ مَوْعِدَةٍ وَعَدَهَا إِيَّاهُ

✧ I heard a man seeking forgiveness for his parents while they were polytheists. I said to him (about it), and he said: "Did not Ibrahim seek forgiveness for his father?" He said: I came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him, and Allah revealed: "And Ibrahim's seeking forgiveness for his father was only because of a promise he had made to him."
