“When ‘Abdullah bin Ubayy died,
his son came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah,
give me your shirt so that I may shroud him in it.’ The Messenger
of
Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Notify me when he is ready (i.e., when he has
been
washed and shrouded).’ When the Prophet (ﷺ) wanted to offer
the
funeral prayer for him: ‘You should not do that.’ The Prophet
(ﷺ)
offered the funeral prayer for him, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said
to him:
‘I have been given two choices: “...ask forgiveness for
them
(hypocrites) or ask not forgiveness for them...’”
Then Allah
revealed: ‘And never pray (the funeral prayer) for any
of them
(hypocrites) who dies, nor stand at his grave.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 6, Hadith 91
