Hadith 973
أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ الْحِزَامِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُلَيْحٍ ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِقَوْمِي فَإِنَّهُمْ لا يَعْلَمُونَ " . قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : يَعْنِي هَذَا الدُّعَاءُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ لَمَّا شُجَّ وَجْهُهُ ، قَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِقَوْمِي " ذَنْبَهُمْ بِي مِنَ الشَّجِّ لِوَجْهِي ، لا أَنَّهُ دُعَاءٌ لِلْكُفَّارِ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ ، وَلَوْ دَعَا لَهُمْ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ لأَسْلَمُوا فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ لا مَحَالَةَ .
Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d Sa’idi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “O Allah! Forgive my people, for they do not know.”
(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) What is meant by this is that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) made this supplication on the day of the Battle of Uhud, when his face was wounded. He said: “O Lord! Forgive my people.” That is, forgive them for the sin they committed by wounding my face. This does not mean that forgiveness was being sought for the disbelievers, because if at that time you had prayed for their forgiveness, they would have certainly become Muslim at that very moment.
