Musnad of Abdullah bin Umar
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5813 — he said: We used to refrain from seeking
حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَرْبُ بْنُ سُرَيْجٍ الْمِنْقَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ السَّخْتِيَانِيُّ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا نُمْسِكُ عَنِ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ ، لِأَهْلِ الْكَبَائِرِ ، حَتَّى سَمِعْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : إِنَّ اللهَ لا يَغْفِرُ أَنْ يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ .
قَالَ : إِنِّي ادَّخَرْتُ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لِأَهْلِ الْكَبَائِرِ مِنْ أُمَّتِي .
قَالَ : فَأَمْسَكْنَا عَنْ كَثِيرٍ مِمَّا كَانَ فِي أَنْفُسِنَا ، ثُمَّ نَطَقْنَا بَعْدُ وَرَجَوْنَا .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "We used to refrain from seeking forgiveness for those who commit major sins, until we heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) reciting (this verse): 'Indeed, Allah does not forgive that partners be associated with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whomever He wills.' And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Indeed, I have stored up my (accepted) supplication as intercession for those of my Ummah who commit major sins.' So we refrained from many of the (harsh) thoughts that were in our hearts (about sinners), and after that we spoke up (in their favour) and held hope in the mercy of Allah."
