"عن عمر: لمَّا تُوُفِّى عَبْدُ الله بْنُ أُبَىٍّ دُعِىَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِلصَّلاةِ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ يُرِيدُ الصَّلَاةَ، تَحوَّلْتُ حَتِّى قُمتُ فِي صَدْرِهِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! أَعَلَى عَدُوِّ اللهِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُبِى الْقَائِل يَومَ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ وَالْقَائِلِ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا: أُعَدِّدُ أَيَّامَهُ الْخَبِيثَةَ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَبَسَّمُ حَتَّى أَكْثَرْتُ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ: أَخِّرْ عَنِّى يَا عُمَرُ، إِنِّي خُيَّرْتُ فاخْتَرْتُ، قَدْ قِيلَ لِي: {اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ إِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً فَلَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ} فَلَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنِّى إِنْ زِدْتُ عَلَى السَّبْعِينَ غُفَرِ لَهُ لَزِدْتُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَمَشَى مَعَهُ، فَقَامَ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ حَتَّى فُرغَ مِنْهُ، فَعَجِبْتُ لِي وَلِجُرأَتِى عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَاللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، فَواللهِ مَا كَانَ إِلَّا يَسِيرًا حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ هَاتَانِ الآيَتَانِ: {وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ} فَمَا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْدَهُ عَلَى مُنَافِقٍ، وَلَا قَامَ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ، حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللهُ - ﷻ -".

"From ʿUmar: When ʿAbdullāh b. Ubayy died, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was called to pray over him, and he stood up to go to him. When he stood over him intending to pray, I turned around until I stood in front of his chest, and I said: O Messenger of Allah! Over the enemy of Allah, ʿAbdullāh b. Ubayy, who said on such and such a day such and such, and who said on such and such a day such and such? I was counting off his evil days, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled, until I had said too much to him. He said: Step back from me, O ʿUmar. I was given a choice and I chose. It was said to me: {Ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them; if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times, Allah will never forgive them}. If I knew that by adding to the seventy he would be forgiven, I would add to it. Then he prayed over him and walked with him, and stood at his grave until it was finished. I was amazed at myself and at my boldness toward the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, while Allah and His Messenger know best. By Allah, it was only a short while until these two verses were revealed: {And never pray over any of them who has died, ever, and do not stand at his grave}. After him the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not pray over any hypocrite, nor stand at his grave, until Allah took him - ﷻ -."
