أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ
لَمَّا مَاتَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ جَاءَ ابْنُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَعْطِنِي قَمِيصَكَ حَتَّى أُكَفِّنَهُ وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ قَمِيصَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِذَا فَرَغْتُمْ فَآذِنُونِي أُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ» فَجَذَبَهُ عُمَرُ وَقَالَ قَدْ نَهَاكَ اللهُ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ؟ قَالَ أَنَا بَيْنَ خِيَرَتَيْنِ قَالَ {اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ} [التوبة 80] فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ} [التوبة 84] فَتَرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْهِمْ

✧ When 'Abdullah b. Ubayy died, his son came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "Give me your shirt so I can shroud him in it, pray over him, and ask forgiveness for him." He gave him his shirt, then said: "When you are finished, let me know so I can pray over him." 'Umar pulled him and said: "Has Allah not forbidden you to pray over the hypocrites?" He said: "I am between two choices. He said: {Ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them} [At-Tawbah: 80]." So he prayed over him, and Allah, exalted is He, revealed: {And do not ever pray over any one of them who has died, and do not stand over his grave} [At-Tawbah: 84]. So he abandoned praying over them.
