Holy Prophet of Islam - Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa — Page 231
The Holy Prophet of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa sa billahi wa rasulihi wallahu la yahdil qaumal fasiqin. Ask you forgiveness for them, or ask you not forgiveness for them; even if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times, Allāh will never forgive them. That is because they disbelieved in Allāh and His Messenger. And Allāh guides not the perfidious people. (9:80) sa. When the Holy Prophet" returned from the graveyard after burial of ‘Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Salūl, God Almighty revealed the following to the Holy Prophet": ط وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُم مَّاتَ اَبَدًا وَّ لَا تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ ، إِنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوْا بِاللهِ وَ رَسُوْلِهِ وَمَاتُوْا وَهُمْ فَسِقُوْنَ ) وَلَا تُعْجِبْكَ أَمْوَالُهُم 0 وَاَوْلَادُهُم إِنَّمَا يُرِيْدُ اللهُ اَنْ يُعَذِّبَهُم بِهَا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَتَزْهَقَ أَنْفُسُهُم وَهُمْ كُفِرُونَ ) wa la tuṣalli ‘ala aḥadimminhummāta abadañwwa la taqum ‘ala qabrihi innahum kafarū billahi wa rasūlihi wa mātū wa hum fasiqūn wa la tu'jibka amwaluhum wa auladuhum innamä yuridullahu añyyu‘adhdhibahum bihä fiddunya wa tazhaqa anfusuhum wa hum kafirūn. Never say prayer over any of them when he dies, nor stand by his grave to pray, for they disbelieved in Allāh and His Messenger and died while they were disobedient. And their possessions and their children should not excite your wonder; Allāh only intends to punish them therewith in this world and that their souls may depart while they are disbelievers.
