Sahih al-Bukhari 5570 (Book 77, Hadith 14)
Apostle, give me your shirt so that I may shroud my fathers body in it. And please offer a funeral
prayer for him and invoke Allah for his forgiveness.” The Prophet (ﷺ) gave him his shirt and said to him
‘Inform us when you finish (and the funeral procession is ready) call us. When he had finished he told
the Prophet (ﷺ) and the Prophet (ﷺ) proceeded to order his funeral prayers but `Umar stopped him and said,
“Didn’t Allah forbid you to offer the funeral prayer for the hypocrites when He said: “Whether you (O
Muhammad) ask forgiveness for them or ask not forgiveness for them: (and even) if you ask
forgiveness for them seventy times. Allah will not forgive them.” (9.80) Then there was revealed:
“And never (O Muhammad) pray for any of them that dies, nor stand at his grave.” (9.34) Thenceforth
the Prophet (ﷺ) did not offer funeral prayers for the hypocrites.
