وَمَا كَانَ اسْتِغْفَارُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ إِلاَّ عَن مَّوْعِدَةٍ وَعَدَهَا إِيَّاهُ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ أَنَّهُ عَدُوٌّ لِلّهِ تَبَرَّأَ مِنْهُ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لأوَّاهٌ حَلِيمٌ
﴿١١٤﴾
سورة التوبة
(9/114) And Abraham’s invoking (of Allah) for his father’s forgiveness was only because of a promise he has made to him (his father). But when it became clear to him that he was an enemy of Allah, he disowned him. Most surely Abraham is very tenderhearted (Awwah), gentle (compassionate).
