Sahih al-Bukhari 4469 (Book 65, Hadith 197)
Umaiya were present with him. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “O uncle, say: None has the right to be worshipped
except Allah, so that I may argue for your case with it before Allah.” On that, Abu Jahl and `Abdullah
bin Abu Umaiya said, “O Abu Talib! Do you want to renounce `Abdul Muttalib’s religion?” Then the
Prophet said, “I will keep on asking (Allah for) forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden to do so.”
Then there was revealed:–
‘It is not fitting for the Prophet (ﷺ) and those who believe that they should invoke (Allah) for forgiveness
for pagans even though they be of kin, after it has become clear to them that they are companions of
the Fire.’ (9.113)
