The questioner:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on researching and asking about the fate of the parents of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?
The Shaykh:
My brother, Allah has not burdened you with this. Who says that the parents of the Messenger, his fathers, and his grandfathers up to Adam were Muslims, because he is from a unified lineage? This is all exaggeration, and none of it has a basis or evidence. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The questioner:
And this questioner says. (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh:
What clarifies this for you is that the Messenger sought permission from his Lord to visit his mother's grave. So He permitted him. Then he sought His permission to seek forgiveness for her. So He refused to let him seek forgiveness for her. So the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) wept intensely because Allah prevented him from seeking forgiveness for his mother. Yes.
