Musnad Abi Ya'la 335 — he said: I heard a man seeking forgiveness
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ يَحْيَى فِي حَدِيثِهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْخَلِيلِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ: عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا يَسْتَغْفِرُ لِأَبَوَيْهِ وَهُمَا مُشْرِكَانِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: أَلَمْ يَسْتَغْفِرْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ؟ قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ " فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ: {وَمَا كَانَ اسْتِغْفَارُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ إِلَّا عَنْ مَوْعِدَةٍ وَعَدَهَا إِيَّاهُ} [التوبة: 114] "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I heard a man seeking forgiveness for his parents although they were both polytheists, so I rebuked him, whereupon he replied: 'Did not Ibrahim (peace be upon him) seek forgiveness for his father?'" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Then I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned this incident to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and Allah Almighty revealed this blessed verse: 'And Ibrahim's seeking forgiveness for his father was only because of a promise he had made to him.'" In the chain of this report, Yahya (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated it through "Abdullah bin al-Khalil," while Abd al-Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated it through "Abu al-Khalil."
