أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
لَمَّا حَضَرَ أَبَا طَالِبٍ الْوَفَاةُ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَوَجَدَ عِنْدَهُ أَبَا جَهْلٍ وَعَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا عَمِّ قُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ أَشْهَدْ لَكَ بِهَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ» قَالَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ يَا أَبَا طَالِبٍ أَتَرْغَبُ عَنْ مِلَّةِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ؟ قَالَ فَلَمْ يَزَلِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَعْرِضُهَا عَلَيْهِ وَيُعِيدُ لَهُ تِلْكَ الْمَقَالَةَ حَتَّى قَالَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ آخِرَ مَا كَلَّمَهُمْ هُوَ عَلَى مِلَّةِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَأَبَى أَنْ يَقُولَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَأَسْتَغْفِرَنَّ لَكَ مَا لَمْ أُنْهَ عَنْكَ» فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَوْ كَانُوا أُولِي قُرْبَى مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْجَحِيمِ} وَأُنْزِلَتْ فِي أَبِي طَالِبٍ {إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ}

✧ When death approached Abu Talib, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and found Abu Jahl and 'Abd Allah b. Abi Umayyah b. al-Mughirah with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O uncle, say: There is no god but Allah, and I will testify for you with it before Allah." Abu Jahl and 'Abd Allah b. Abi Umayyah said, "O Abu Talib, will you turn away from the religion of 'Abd al-Muttalib?" The Prophet ﷺ kept presenting it to him and repeating those words to him until Abu Talib said, as the last thing he spoke to them, that he was on the religion of 'Abd al-Muttalib, and he refused to say: There is no god but Allah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I will surely seek forgiveness for you as long as I am not forbidden from doing so." So Allah sent down: {It is not for the Prophet and those who believe to seek forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were near relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are companions of the Blaze} [9:113]. And concerning Abu Talib was sent down: {Indeed, you do not guide whom you love, but Allah guides whom He wills, and He is most knowing of the guided} [28:56].
