Ibn Umar (RA) reported that when Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Salul (the hypocrite) died, his sonAbdullah binAbdullah came to Allahs Messenger (may peace be upon -him) and asked him to give his shirt which should be used for the coffin of his father. He gave that to him. Allahs Messenger ﷺ stood up to say prayer over him Thereupon I Umar caught hold of the clothe of Allahs Messenger ﷺ and said: Allahs Messenger, are you going to offer prayer, whereas Allah has forbidden to offer prayer for him, whereupon Allahs Messenger ﷺ said: Allah has given me a choice saying: Ask forgiveness for them or you may not ask for them; even if you ask for them seventy times, I will make an addition to the seventy. He was a hypocrite and Allahs Messenger ﷺ said prayer over him that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed the verse:" And never pray over any one of them that has died and never should you stand by his grave" (ix. 84).
