Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding the saying of Allah, the Exalted:“And nor upon those who, when they came to you that you might carry them, you said, ‘I do not find anything upon which to carry you,’ they turned back while their eyes overflowed with tears”__QUR_N__, said: They were people from Banu Muqrin Muzaynah.

Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out towards Tabuk, he said: Only the person who possesses strength should go out with us.

Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) to announce among the people that «لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا نَفْسٌ مُؤْمِنَةٌ، وَلَا يَدْخُلُهَا عَاصٍ» , meaning only the soul of a believer will enter Paradise, and a sinner will not enter. Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said: We have not heard anything harsher from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) than this. And another hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is: «لَقَدْ ضُمَّ سَعْدٌ ضَمَّةً» , meaning Sa’d was given a severe squeeze in the grave.

Ammar Dahni, may Allah have mercy on him, says: I entered the Quba Mosque to pray, then turned to my right and saw that Sayyiduna Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman, may Allah have mercy on him, noticed me and said: "Do you like to pray in this mosque about which Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has said: __QUR_N__ 'Certainly, the mosque whose foundation was laid on piety from the very first day is more deserving that you stand (in prayer) therein' __QUR_N__, meaning, indeed, the mosque whose foundation was laid on piety from the first day, is more deserving that you pray in it?"

Saeed bin Jubair (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: A man came to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and said: My father has died in the state of being a Christian. So he (Ibn Abbas) said: Give him a bath, shroud him, apply fragrance to him, then bury him. Then Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) recited this verse:
﴿It is not for the Prophet and those who believe to ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they are close relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are companions of the Fire. * And the request of forgiveness by Abraham for his father was only because of a promise he had made to him. But when it became clear to him that he was an enemy to Allah, he dissociated himself from him.﴾
That is, it is not permissible for the Prophet and the believers to seek forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they are close relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are inhabitants of Hell. And Abraham’s seeking forgiveness for his father was only due to a promise he had made to him. Then when it became clear to him that he was an enemy to Allah the Exalted, Abraham (peace be upon him) dissociated himself from him. Then he said: When he died upon disbelief, it became clear to Abraham (peace be upon him) that he was an enemy to Allah the Exalted, so Abraham (peace be upon him) declared disassociation from him.

Then he recited this verse: "It is not for the Prophet and those who believe to ask forgiveness for the polytheists..." until the end of the verse.
