ممنوعیت استغفار برای مشرکان متکبر

یه ۱۱۳ با تعبیری قاطع پیامبر و موْمنان را از استغفار برای مشرکان نهی می‌کند؛ زیرا این کار» درخواست و آرزویی نابجا برای فردی است که به هیچ وجه سزاوار آمرزش نیست و راه نجاتی برای او تصور نمی‌شود. به علاو» طلب آامرزش» نوعی اظهار محبت است که از این کار برای برخی مشرکان به شدت نهی شده و از آن رو که مسلمانان آگاه و آشنا به قرآن در یات آن خوانده بودند که حضرت ابراهیم(ع) برای عمویش ازر استغفار کرده» ممکن بود این سوّال برای آنها پدید اآید که مگر آزر مشرک نبود؛ اگر این کار ممنوع است» چرا آن پیامبر بزرگ خدا انجام داد ۷۴" قرآن به این پندار این‌گونه پاسخ می‌دهد که استغفار حضرت ابراهیم برای عموی مشرک‌اش بدین دلیل بود که او گمان می‌کرد آزر اگر چه مشرک استء با خدا دشمنی و لجاجت ندارد و به هدایت او امید می‌رود. پس» از روی مهربانی به او وعده داد که برایش از خدا طلب امرزش می کند؛ اما هنکامی که برایش روشن شد که او با خدا دشمن است و بر سر شرک و گمراهی‌اش لجاجت داردء از او بیزاری جست.
