حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ:
رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا يَسْتَغْفِرُ لِأَبَوَيْهِ وَهُمَا مُشْرِكَانِ، فَقُلْتُ: تَسْتَغْفِرُ لِأَبَوَيْكَ وَهُمَا مُشْرِكَانِ ؟ فَقَالَ: أَلَيْسَ قَدِ اسْتَغْفَرَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ وَهُوَ مُشْرِكٌ ؟ قَالَ: فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَنَزَلَتْ: مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ، إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَتَيْنِ

✧ I saw a man seeking forgiveness for his parents while they were polytheists. I said: ‘You seek forgiveness for your parents while they are polytheists?’ He said: ‘Did not Abraham seek forgiveness for his father while he was a polytheist?’ He said: I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, and it was revealed: ‘It is not for the Prophet and those who believe to seek forgiveness for the polytheists,’ to the end of the two verses.
