حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا يَسْتَغْفِرُ لِأَبَوَيْهِ، وَهُمَا مُشْرِكَانِ، فَقُلْتُ: أَيَسْتَغْفِرُ الرَّجُلُ لِأَبَوَيْهِ، وَهُمَا مُشْرِكَانِ ؟ فَقَالَ: أَوَلَمْ يَسْتَغْفِرْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ ؟ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَنَزَلَتْ: مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ - إِلَى قَوْلِهِ - [فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ أَنَّهُ عَدُوٌّ لِلهِ ] تَبَرَّأَ مِنْهُ، قَالَ: لَمَّا مَاتَ

✧ I heard a man asking forgiveness for his parents while they were polytheists. I said, "Does a man ask forgiveness for his parents while they are polytheists?" He said, "Did not Ibrahim ask forgiveness for his father?" I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, and it was revealed: 'It is not for the Prophet and those who believe to ask forgiveness for the polytheists'—until His saying—'[when it became clear to him that he was an enemy of God] he disassociated himself from him.' He said, "When he died."
