حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ جَاءَ ابْنُهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَسَأَلَهُ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُ قَمِيصَهُ يُكَفِّنُ فِيهِ أَبَاهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ، ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِيُصَلِّيَ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ فَأَخَذَ بِثَوْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ وَقَدْ نَهَاكَ رَبُّكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ إِنَّمَا خَيَّرَنِي اللَّهُ فَقَالَ ‏{‏اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لاَ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ إِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً‏}‏ وَسَأَزِيدُهُ عَلَى السَّبْعِينَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ إِنَّهُ مُنَافِقٌ‏.‏ قَالَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ‏{‏وَلاَ تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا وَلاَ تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ‏}‏‏.‏

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:When `Abdullah bin 'Ubai died, his son `Abdullah bin `Abdullah came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and asked him to give him his shirt in order to shroud his father in it. He gave it to him and then `Abdullah asked the Prophet (ﷺ) to offer the funeral prayer for him (his father). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up to offer the funeral prayer for him, but `Umar got up too and got hold of the garment of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) Will you offer the funeral prayer for him though your Lord has forbidden you to offer the prayer for him" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "But Allah has given me the choice by saying: '(Whether you) ask forgiveness for them, or do not ask forgiveness for them; even if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times..' (9.80) so I will ask more than seventy times." `Umar said, "But he (`Abdullah bin 'Ubai) is a hypocrite!" However, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did offer the funeral prayer for him whereupon Allah revealed: 'And never (O Muhammad) pray for anyone of them that dies, nor stand at his grave

Ibn Abbas bataate hain: Jab Abdullah bin Ubai marr gaya, to uska beta Abdullah bin Abdullah Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ke paas aaya aur unse apni kameez maangi taake wo apne waalid ko usme kafan de sakein. Nabi (SAW) ne wo de di, phir Abdullah ne Nabi (SAW) se unke waalid ke liye janaaza ki namaz padhne ki darkhwaast ki. Allah ke Rasool (SAW) janaaza ki namaz padhaane khade hue, magar Umar bhi khade ho gaye aur Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ka kapda pakad liya aur kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! Kya aap uski janaaza ki namaz padhaayenge jabke aapke Rab ne aapko uski namaz padhaane se mana kiya hai?' Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Magar Allah ne mujhe ikhtiyaar diya hai, farmaaya: "Chaahe tum unke liye maafi maango, ya na maango; agar tum unke liye sattar (70) baar bhi maafi maango..." (9:80) isliye main sattar se bhi zyaada baar maafi maangunga.' Umar ne kaha, 'Magar wo (Abdullah bin Ubai) to munaafiq hai!' Phir bhi, Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne uski janaaza ki namaz padhaayi, isper Allah ne naazil farmaya: 'Aur (Aye Muhammad) unmein se kisi ke marne par kabhi namaz mat padho, na uski qabr par khade ho...'
