ahmad:1648Yazīd > al-Masʿūdī > Nufayl b. Hishām b. Saʿīd b. Zayd b. ʿAmr b. Nufayl from his father from his grandfather

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in Mecca with Zaid bin Harithah. Then Zaid bin Amr bin Nufayl passed by them and invited them to a meal. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O son of my brother, I do not eat from what is slaughtered on the idols." Then the Prophet ﷺ was seen eating something that was slaughtered on the idols. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, my father was just like you saw him and he came to know about you. If he had met you, he would have believed in you and followed you. So, should I seek forgiveness for him?" He said, "Yes, seek forgiveness for him, for he will be resurrected on the Day of Judgment as a separate nation."  

أحمد:١٦٤٨حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنْ نُفَيْلِ بْنِ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَكَّةَ هُوَ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ فَمَرَّ بِهِمَا زَيْدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ فَدَعَوَاهُ إِلَى سُفْرَةٍ لَهُمَا فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي إِنِّي لَا آكُلُ مِمَّا ذُبِحَ عَلَى النُّصُبِ قَالَ فَمَا رُئِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَكَلَ شَيْئًا مِمَّا ذُبِحَ عَلَى النُّصُبِ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبِي كَانَ كَمَا قَدْ رَأَيْتَ وَبَلَغَكَ وَلَوْ أَدْرَكَكَ لآمَنَ بِكَ وَاتَّبَعَكَ فَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَأَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ يُبْعَثُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أُمَّةً وَحْدَهُ

tabarani:350ʿAlī b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz > ʿAbdullāh b. Rajāʾ > al-Masʿūdī > Nufayl b. Hishām b. Saʿīd b. Zayd from his father from his grandfather

[Machine] Indeed, the one you seek will appear in your land, so accept him when he says "Labbaik" sincerely and devoutly. Seek righteousness, not power or wealth. Is the migrant like the one who says, "I seek refuge in the same way that Ibrahim sought refuge," while standing and turning away (from temptation)? O Allah, I seek refuge and seek refuge from all difficulties, no matter how great they may be, for I am strong and capable. Then he prostrates to the Kaaba. Zaid ibn Amr and Zaid ibn Harithah were eating from their table and the Prophet ﷺ invited them. They said, "O nephew, we do not eat from what is sacrificed for idols." The Prophet ﷺ did not see him eating from what was sacrificed for idols from that day until his death. Sa'id ibn Zaid came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, Zaid was as you saw him or as he informed you. So seek forgiveness for him." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes, I seek forgiveness for him, for he will be resurrected as a single nation on the Day of Resurrection."
