Bayhaqi 6667 — A Muslim washes his polytheist relative, follows

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ، أنبأ أَبُو مَنْصُورٍ النَّضْرَوِيُّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أَبِي مَاتَ نَصْرَانِيًّا، فَقَالَ: " اغْسِلْهُ، وَكَفِّنْهِ، وَحَنِّطْهُ، ثُمَّ ادْفِنْهُ " ثُمَّ قَالَ: {مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَوْ كَانُوا أُولِي قُرْبَى} [التوبة: ١١٣] الْآيَةَ ".
Sa'id bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A man came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and said: My father has died as a Christian. He said: "Wash him, shroud him, apply perfume to him, then bury him." Then he recited this verse: "It is not fitting for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and those who believe to seek forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they are close relatives." [Surah al-Tawbah: 113]
