It was narrated that Umar Bin AlKhattab said: When Abdullah Bin Ubay Bin Soul died; the Messenger of Allah was called upon to offer the funeral prayer for him. When the Messenger of Allah stood up to offer the prayer ; I got up quickly and said: O Messenger of Allah Are you going to pray for Ibn Ubay when he said such-and-such an occasion? And I stated to list all the things that he had said. The Messenger of Allah smiled and said: Leave me alone; O Umar. When I spoke too much he said: I have been given the choice and I have chosen to offer the prayer for him. If I knew that he could be forgiven by asking Allah forgiveness more than seventy times; I would have done so. The Messenger of Allah offered the funeral prayer for him; and then left. A short while later; the two Verses form surah Bara were revealed: And never pray funeral prayer for any of them hypocrites who dies; nor stand at his grave. Certainly they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger; and died while they were rebellious. Later I was astonished by my audacity toward the Messenger of Allah on that day. And Allah and His Messenger know best.
