\nNarrated Ibn `Umar:\n \n\nWhen `Abdullah bin Ubai (the chief of hypocrites) died, his son came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O \nAllah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Please give me your shirt to shroud him in it, offer his funeral prayer and ask for \nAllah's forgiveness for him." So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) gave his shirt to him and said, "Inform me \n(When the funeral is ready) so that I may offer the funeral prayer." So, he informed him and when the \nProphet intended to offer the funeral prayer, `Umar took hold of his hand and said, "Has Allah not \nforbidden you to offer the funeral prayer for the hypocrites? The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I have been given the \nchoice for Allah says: '(It does not avail) Whether you (O Muhammad) ask forgiveness for them \n(hypocrites), or do not ask for forgiveness for them. Even though you ask for their forgiveness seventy \ntimes, Allah will not forgive them. (9.80)" So the Prophet (ﷺ) offered the funeral prayer and on that the \nrevelation came: "And never (O Muhammad) pray (funeral prayer) for any of them (i.e. hypocrites) \nthat dies." (9. 84)\n
