[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."
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
