أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى الْقَطَّانُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أُبَيٍّ لَمَّا مَاتَ جَاءَ ابْنُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : أَعْطِنِي قَمِيصَكَ حَتَّى أُكَفِّنَهُ فِيهِ ، وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ ، وَاسْتَغْفِرْ ، قَالَ : فَأَعْطَاهُ قَمِيصَهُ ، وَقَالَ : " إِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَآذِنِّي حَتَّى أُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ " فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ آذَنَهُ ، فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ جَذَبَهُ عُمَرُ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ ، وَقَالَ : أَلَيْسَ قَدْ نَهَاكَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنَا بَيْنَ خِيَرَتَيْنِ قَالَ اللَّهُ : اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سورة التوبة آية 80 " قَالَ : فَنَزَلَتْ : وَلا تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا وَلا تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ سورة التوبة آية 84 قَالَ : فَتَرَكَ الصَّلاةَ عَلَيْهِ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: When Abdullah bin Ubayy passed away, his son came to the service of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and requested: O Messenger of Allah, please give me your shirt so that I may shroud (i.e., my father) in it. Please also perform his funeral prayer and supplicate for his forgiveness. The narrator says: The Prophet (peace be upon him) gave him his shirt and said: When you have finished (washing and shrouding him), inform me so that I may lead his funeral prayer. When he finished and informed the Prophet (peace be upon him), and the Prophet (peace be upon him) stood up to perform his funeral prayer, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) pulled him and said: Has Allah not forbidden you from performing the funeral prayer for the hypocrites? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: I have been given a choice between two matters. Allah has said: "Ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them." The narrator states: Then on this occasion, this verse was revealed: "And never (O Muhammad) pray for any of them who dies, nor stand by his grave." The narrator says: So the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not perform his funeral prayer.
