حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ: نَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ. وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالَ: نَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ:
سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا، يَسْتَغْفِرُ لِأَبَوَيْهِ وَهُمَا مُشْرِكَانِ فَقُلْتُ: تَسْتَغْفِرُ لِأَبَوَيْكَ وَهُمَا مُشْرِكَانِ ؟ فَقَالَ: أَلَمْ يَسْتَغْفِرْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ ؟ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَنَزَلَتْ: مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ

✧ I heard a man seeking forgiveness for his parents while they were polytheists, so I said: 'You seek forgiveness for your parents while they are polytheists?' He said: 'Did not Ibrahim seek 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 seek forgiveness for the polytheists' to the end of the verse.
