حديث ابْنِ عُمَرَ رضي الله عنها أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أُبَيٍّ، لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ، جَاءَ ابْنُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَعْطِنِي قَمِيصَكَ أُكَفِّنْهُ فِيهِ، وَصلِّ عَلَيْهِ، وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، قَمِيصَهُ فَقَالَ: آذِنِّي أُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ فَآذَنَه فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ، جَذَبَهُ عُمَرُ رضي الله عنها فَقَالَ: أَلَيْسَ اللهُ نَهَاكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ فَقَالَ: أَنَا بَيْنَ خِيْرَتَيْنِ قَالَ (اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ إِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّة، فَلَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللهُ لَهُمْ) فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ فَنَزَلَتْ (وَلَا تصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا).
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنهما : When ‘Abdullâh bin Ubai (the chief of hypocrites) died, his son came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and said, “O Allâh’s Messenger! Please give me your shirt to shroud him in it, offer his funeral prayer and ask for Allâh’s Forgiveness for him.” So Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم gave his shirt to him and said, “Inform me (when the funeral is ready) so that I may offer the funeral prayer.” So, he informed him and when the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم intended to offer the funeral prayer, ‘Umar رضي الله عنه took hold of his hand and said, “Has Allâh not forbidden you to offer the funeral prayer for the hypocrites.” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “I have been given the choice for Allâh تعالى says: ‘Whether you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم ) ask forgiveness for them (hypocrites), or ask not forgiveness for them..., (and even) if you ask seventy times for their forgiveness..., Allâh تعالى will not forgive them.’ (V.9:80)” So the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم offered the funeral prayer and on that the revelation came: “And never (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم ) pray (funeral prayer) for any of them (i.e. hypocrites) who dies.” (V.9:84) ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 359, Vol. 2 )
