أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ

لَمَّا مَاتَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ جَاءَ ابْنُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَعْطِنِي قَمِيصَكَ حَتَّى أُكَفِّنَهُ فِيهِ وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ قَمِيصَهُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِذَا فَرَغْتُمْ فَآذِنُونِي أُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ» فَجَذَبَهُ عُمَرُ وَقَالَ «قَدْ نَهَاكَ اللهُ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ» فَقَالَ أَنَا بَيْنَ خِيَرَتَيْنِ قَالَ اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمِ أَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُمْ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ} [التوبة 84] فَتَرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْهِمْ

✧ When 'Abd Allah b. Ubayy died, his son came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Give me your shirt so I may shroud him in it, and pray over him and seek forgiveness for him. So he gave him his shirt. Then he said: When you are done, inform me so I may pray over him. 'Umar pulled him and said: Allah has forbidden you to pray over the hypocrites. He said: I am between two options. He said: Seek forgiveness for them or do not seek forgiveness for them. So he prayed over him, then Allah revealed: {And do not pray over any of them who has died, ever, nor stand at his grave} [al-Tawbah 84]. So he abandoned praying over them.
