The ruling on the claim that 'Abd Allah ibn Abi was not a hypocrite
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I saw a video in which a man states that 'Abd Allah ibn Abi Salul was not a hypocrite, and his evidence is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for him when he died. Is what he said correct?
Answer:
No, this is invalid; this is false speech. 'Abd Allah ibn Abi Salul was the head of the hypocrites, and this is the consensus of the scholars. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sought to reconcile his companions, so he prayed for him to reconcile them, because he had a righteous son. He prayed for him to reconcile them for the sake of his son. When Allah said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)[At-Tawbah 9:80], he said: "If I knew that I would be answered if I increased beyond seventy, I would have increased beyond seventy," out of his (peace and blessings be upon him) eagerness for his Ummah. Yes.
