حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْجَهْمِ ثنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ فَحَدَّثَنِي الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْخَلِيلِ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ اسْتَغْفَرَ رَجُلٌ لِأَبَوَيْهِ وَهُمَا مُشْرِكَانِ فَقُلْتُ أَتَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُمَا وَهُمَا مُشْرِكَانِ؟ فَقَالَ اسْتَغْفَرَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {وَمَا كَانَ اسْتِغْفَارُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ إِلَّا عَنْ مَوْعِدَةَ وَعَدَهَا إِيَّاهُ} [التوبة 114] سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص

✧ I heard 'Ali say: 'A man sought forgiveness for his parents while they were polytheists, so I said: Do you seek forgiveness for them while they are polytheists? He said: Ibrahim sought forgiveness for his father. I mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and Allah revealed: {And Ibrahim's seeking forgiveness for his father was only because of a promise he had made to him} [al-Tawbah: 114]. Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in the Talkhis.
