شرح الحديث :

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) visited Abu Tālib when he was in the throes of death and offered him to embrace Islam, hoping his life would end with something that causes him to attain success and happiness in the Hereafter. He requested him to utter the word of monotheism. Yet, the polytheists encouraged him to remain upon the religion of his forefathers, which was polytheism, as they knew that the word of monotheism negates polytheism and indicates sincere worship of Allah alone. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) requested his uncle again to utter the testimony of faith; but, the polytheists repeated their opposite request, and they became the reason for diverting him from the truth and subsequently dying upon polytheism. At that moment, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) swore that he would continue seeking forgiveness of Allah for him, as long as he was not prohibited from doing so. So, Allah revealed the prohibition of doing that and clarified for him that guidance is in the Hand of Allah who blesses whomever He wishes with it. This because Allah knows whom guidance is suitable for and whom it is not. Allah, the Almighty, revealed: ﴿It is not for the Prophet and those who have believed to ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are companions of Hellfire﴾ [Sūrat At-Tawbah: 113] Allah also revealed regarding Abu Tālib: ﴿Indeed, you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills. And He knows best those who are the guided.﴾ [Sūrat al-Qasas: 56]
