Hadith 3:359
Abu Khaythama narrated to us, Waki' narrated to us, from Sufyan, from Abu Ishaq, from Abu al-Khalil, from Ali, who said: I saw a man seeking forgiveness for his parents while they were polytheists. So I said, "Do you seek forgiveness for your parents while they are polytheists?" He said, "Did Ibrahim not seek forgiveness for his father while he was a polytheist?" He said: So I mentioned that to the Prophet (peace be upon him), and there was revealed: "It is not for the Prophet and those who have believed to ask forgiveness for the polytheists," until the end of the two verses.
حدثنا أبو خيثمة حدثنا وكيع عن سفيان عن أبي إسحاق عن أبي الخليل عن علي قال * رأيت رجلا يستغفر لأبويه وهما مشركان فقلت تستغفر لأبويك وهما مشركان فقال أليس قد استغفر إبراهيم لأبيه وهو مشرك قال فذكرت ذلك للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فنزلت ما كان للنبي والذين آمنوا أن يستغفروا للمشركين إلى آخر الآيتين التوبة
