Sahih al-Bukhari 5796
حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَىٍّ جَاءَ ابْنُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعْطِنِي قَمِيصَكَ أُكَفِّنْهُ فِيهِ، وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ، وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُ، فَأَعْطَاهُ قَمِيصَهُ، وَقَالَ " إِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَآذِنَّا ". فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ آذَنَهُ، فَجَاءَ لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ، فَجَذَبَهُ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ نَهَاكَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ فَقَالَ {اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لاَ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ إِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً فَلَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ}. فَنَزَلَتْ {وَلاَ تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا} فَتَرَكَ الصَّلاَةَ عَلَيْهِمْ.
Ibn Umar reported that when Abdullah ibn Ubayy died, his son came to the Messenger of Allah and said, “Messenger of Allah, give me your shirt so I can shroud him in it, pray over him, and ask forgiveness for him.” He gave him his shirt and said, “When you have finished, let us know.” When the son had finished, he informed him, and the Prophet came to pray over him. Umar pulled him back and said, “Has Allah not forbidden you to pray over the hypocrites?” The Prophet replied with the verse: “Whether you ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them—even if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times, Allah will never forgive them.” Then the verse was revealed: “Do not ever pray over any of them who dies.” So he stopped praying over them.
