When Abdullah bin Ubayy died, his son Abdullah bin Abdullah came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who gave him his shirt and instructed him to shroud his father in it. Then he stood to pray over him, but Umar bin Khattab took hold of his garment and said, "Are you praying over him when he is a hypocrite, and Allah has forbidden you to seek forgiveness for them?"He replied, "Allah has only given me a choice," or he said, "Allah has only informed me," for He said, "Ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them. Even if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times, Allah will never forgive them" [Tawbah 9:80]. He said, "I will exceed seventy."So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed over him, and we prayed with him. Then Allah revealed to him, "And never pray over any of them who has died, nor stand at his grave. Indeed, they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger and died while they were defiantly disobedient" [Tawbah 9:84].
حدثني إبراهيم بن المنذر حدثنا أنس بن عياض عن عبيد الله عن نافع
لما توفي عبد الله بن أبي جاء ابنه عبد الله بن عبد الله إلى رسول الله ﷺ فأعطاه قميصه وأمره أن يكفنه فيه ثم قام يصلي عليه فأخذ عمر بن الخطاب بثوبه فقال تصلي عليه وهو منافق وقد نهاك الله أن تستغفر لهم قال إنما خيرني الله أو أخبرني الله فقال {استغفر لهم أو لا تستغفر لهم إن تستغفر لهم سبعين مرة فلن يغفر الله لهم} فقال سأزيده على سبعين قال فصلى عليه رسول الله ﷺ وصلينا معه ثم أنزل الله عليه {ولا تصل على أحد منهم مات أبدا ولا تقم على قبره إنهم كفروا بالله ورسوله وماتوا وهم فاسقون}
