When Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Salul died, his son Abdullah bin Abdullah came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him for his shirt so that he might shroud his father in it. The Prophet gave it to him. Then he asked him to pray over his father, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up to pray over him.At that Umar rose and took hold of the garment of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Messenger of Allah, are you going to pray over him when Allah has forbidden you to pray over him?"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Allah has only given me a choice. He said, 'Ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them. Even if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times.' [Tawbah 9:80] And I will do more than seventy."Umar said, "But he is a hypocrite."Still the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed over him, and then Allah revealed, "And never pray over any of them who has died, nor stand at his grave." [Tawbah 9:84]
