حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ 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 heard 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, though he was a polytheist?' He said, 'I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, and then 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.'
