" It was narrated that 'Ali said: ""I heard a man praying for forgiveness for his parents who were idolaters and I said: 'Are you praying for forgiveness for them even though they are idolators?"" He said: 'Didn't Ibrahim pray for forgiveness for his father?' I went to the Prophet and told him about that then the following revealed: And Ibrahim's (Abraham) invoking (of Allah) for his father's forgiveness was only because of a promise he (Ibrahim) had made to him (his father).""
