Also, it is narrated from Ibn Mas'ud that once the prophet (s) visited Muslim's tombs and we followed him. He sat before a tomb and shaded tears there and prayed. We cried along with him and prayed with his supplication. He asked the reason of our cry. We replied that we are inspired by your cry. He said: This tomb belongs to my mother Amina. God let me visit it, yet I'm not allowed to pray for her forgiveness, and this verse was sent to me:" It is not for the Prophet (s) 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." This is the reason of my cry. | Also, it is narrated from Ibn Mas'ud that once the prophet (s) visited Muslim's tombs and we followed him. He sat before a tomb and shaded tears there and prayed.

Wahb, [['Abd Allah b. Abd al-Muttalib]] and the entire prophet's ancestor to [[Adam]]. This was pointed out in hadiths: "[[Jibra'il]] came to [[the prophet (s)]] and said: Muhammad! Your God sends his regards to you and states: I've made hell's fire forbidden for the waist (sulb) which descended you, the uterus which was pregnant of you, and the one who brought you up. That waist belongs to 'Abd Allah b. Abd al-Muttalib, that uterus is Amina bt. Wahb's, and the one who brought the prophet up was Abu Talib, according to Ibn Fazil's hadith, and Fatima bt. Asad.", [[Imam al-Sadiq (a)]] stated. | ||
In addition to this, Shi'a has raised some problems to the mentioned hadiths. For instance, [[Allmah Amini]] says: Didn't the prophet know he and his followers could not pray for idolaters' forgiveness and mediate for them, even after sending many verses in Tabuk day? So, how he asked for the permission to pray for his mother's forgiveness and to mediate for her? Did he think his mother is not counted as human? Has this [[hadith]] been made to contaminate the holy prophet's reputation or view his mother an idolater? He writes in the following: Some have interpreted requesting for forgiveness praying for the corpse. In this case, it would be in harmony with the mentioned hadiths. | In addition to this, Shi'a has raised some problems to the mentioned hadiths.
