حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْفَضْلِ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْعَدْلُ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَنْبَأَ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ
لَمَّا حَضَرَتْ أَبَا طَالِبٍ الْوَفَاةُ أَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ وَأَبُو جَهْلِ بْنُ هِشَامُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَيْ عَمِّ إِنَّكَ أَعْظَمُهُمْ عَلَيَّ حَقًّا وَأَحْسَنُهُمْ عِنْدِي يَدًا وَلَأَنْتَ أَعْظَمُ حَقًّا عَلَيَّ مِنْ وَالِدِي فَقُلْ كَلِمَةً تَجِبْ لَكَ عَلَيَّ بِهَا الشَّفَاعَةُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ» فَقَالَا لَهُ أَتَرْغَبُ عَنْ مِلَّةِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ؟ فَسَكَتَ فَأَعَادَهَا عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَنَا عَلَى مِلَّةِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَمَاتَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَأَسْتَغْفِرَنَّ لَكَ مَا لَمْ أُنْهَ عَنْكَ» فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ} [التوبة 113] الْآيَةُ {وَمَا كَانَ اسْتِغْفَارُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِأَبِيهَ} [التوبة 114] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ

✧ When Abu Talib was near death, the Prophet ﷺ came to him while ‘Abd Allah b. Abi Umayyah and Abu Jahl b. Hisham were with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, “O uncle, you have the greatest right upon me and the best hand with me; indeed your right is greater upon me than that of my father. So say a word by which intercession will become binding for me for you on the Day of Resurrection: say, ‘There is no god but Allah.’” The two of them said to him, “Will you turn away from the religion of ‘Abd al-Muttalib?” He fell silent, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ repeated it to him. He said, “I follow the religion of ‘Abd al-Muttalib,” and died. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, “I will surely seek forgiveness for you as long as I am not forbidden from it.” Then Allah ﷻ revealed: {It is not for the Prophet and those who believe to ask forgiveness for the polytheists} [At-Tawbah: 113] and the verse {And Ibrahim’s asking forgiveness for his father} [At-Tawbah: 114] to the end of the verse.
