حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ لَمَّا تُوُفِّىَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَىٍّ ابْنُ سَلُولَ 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 يُصَلِّىَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- لِيُصَلِّىَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ فَأَخَذَ بِثَوْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتُصَلِّى عَلَيْهِ وَقَدْ نَهَاكَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تُصَلِّىَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « إِنَّمَا خَيَّرَنِى اللَّهُ فَقَالَ اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لاَ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ إِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً وَسَأَزِيدُهُ عَلَى سَبْعِينَ ». قَالَ إِنَّهُ مُنَافِقٌ. فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ (وَلاَ تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا وَلاَ تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ)

It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "When 'Abdullah bin Ubayy (bin Salul) died, his son 'Abdullah bin 'Abdullah came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and asked him to give him his shirt so that he could shroud his father in it, and he gave it to him. Then he asked him to offer the funeral prayer for him, and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) stood up to pray for him. 'Umar stood up and took hold of the garment of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, will you offer the funeral prayer for him when Allah has forbidden you to pray for him?' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Rather Allah has given me the choice, as He said: "Whether you ask for forgiveness for them or do not ask for forgiveness for them, if you ask for forgiveness for them seventy times..." - and I will do more than that.' He said: 'But he is a hypocrite.' Then Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, revealed: "And never pray (funeral prayer) for any of them (hypocrites) who dies, nor stand at his grave..."
