A man whose polytheist relative dies: does he attend him or not?
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 12209 — A man whose polytheist relative dies
١٢٢٠٩ - حدثنا علي بن مسهر عن الأجلح عن الشعبي قال: لما مات أبو طالب (جاء) (١) (علي) (٢) إلى النبي ﷺ فقال: إن عمك الشيخ الكافر قد مات فما ترى فيه؟ قال: "أرى أن تغسله (وتنحيه) " (٣)، وأمره بالغسل (٤).
Al-Sha'bi said: When Abu Talib died, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "Your disbelieving uncle has died; what is your view regarding him?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Wash him and bury him." And he ordered him (Ali) to take a ritual bath (afterwards).
