Hadith text
Narrated Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab from his father:When the time of the death of Abu Talib approached, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went to him and found Abu Jahl bin Hisham and `Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya bin Al-Mughira by his side. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to Abu Talib, "O uncle! Say: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, a sentence with which I shall be a witness (i.e. argue) for you before Allah. Abu Jahl and `Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya said, "O Abu Talib! Are you going to denounce the religion of `Abdul Muttalib?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kept on inviting Abu Talib to say it (i.e. 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah') while they (Abu Jahl and `Abdullah) kept on repeating their statement till Abu Talib said as his last statement that he was on the religion of `Abdul Muttalib and refused to say, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' (Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "I will keep on asking Allah's forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden (by Allah) to do so." So Allah revealed (the verse) concerning him (i.e. It is not fitting for the Prophet (ﷺ) and those who believe that they should invoke (Allah) for forgiveness for pagans even though they be of kin, after it has become clear to them that they are companions of the fire
Sa'id bin Al-Musaiyab, apne waalid ke hawale se: Jab Abu Talib ki maut ka waqt qareeb aaya, Allah ke Rasool unke paas gaye aur wahan Abu Jahl bin Hisham aur Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya bin Al-Mughira ko unke paas paaya. Allah ke Rasool ne Abu Talib se kaha: "Aye chacha! Kaho: Allah ke siwa koi mabood nahi, ek aisa kalma jiske zariye main Allah ke saamne aapki (janib se) gawahi dunga." Abu Jahl aur Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya ne kaha: "Aye Abu Talib! Kya aap Abdul Muttalib ke deen ko chhodne wale hain?" Allah ke Rasool ise (yaani 'Allah ke siwa koi mabood nahi') kehne ki dawat dete rahe, jabke woh (Abu Jahl aur Abdullah) apni baat dohrate rahe, yahan tak ke Abu Talib ne apni aakhri baat mein kaha ke woh Abdul Muttalib ke deen par hain, aur 'Allah ke siwa koi mabood nahi' kehne se inkaar kiya. Phir Allah ke Rasool ne farmaya: "Main aapke liye Allah se maafi maangta rahunga jab tak mujhe (Allah ki taraf se) mana na kiya jaaye." To Allah ne unke baare mein (ayat) nazil ki: "Nabi (ﷺ) aur momino ke liye jaiz nahi ke woh mushrikon ke liye maafi maangen, chahe woh rishtedaar hi kyun na hon, jabke unhe pata chal chuka hai ke woh Dozakh wale hain."
