"إِنَّمَا خيَّرنِى اللَّه ﷻ فقال: استَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ إِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً وسأَزيدُهُ على سَبْعِين ".

[م] مسلم عن ابن عمر

quran:9:80

It makes no difference [Prophet] whether you ask forgiveness for them or not: God will not forgive them even if you ask seventy times, because they reject God and His Messenger. God does not guide those who rebel against Him.

Istaghfir lahum aw laa tastaghfir lahum in tastaghfir lahum sab'eena marratan falaien yaghfiral laahu lahum; zaalika bi-annahum kafaroo billaahi Wa-Rasoolih; wallaahu laa yahdil qawmal faasiqeen

القرآن:٩:٨٠

ٱسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ إِن تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةࣰ فَلَن يَغْفِرَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمْۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْفَٰسِقِينَ

"أخِّر عنى يا عُمَر، إنى خُيِّرتُ فاخترت، قد قيل لى: (استغفر لهم أو لا تستغفر لهم، إن تستغفر لهم سبعين مرةً فلن يغفرَ الله لهم) لو أعلمُ أنى لو زِدْتُ على السبعين غُفِر له لَزَدْت.
