Mohammad Forgiving Enemy and Oppressors:

See 9: 80 – 84 and see Asad note 116

9: 84 And never shall you pray over any of them that has died, and never shall you stand by his grave: for, behold, they were bent on denying God and His Apostle, and they died in this their iniquity.

[asad note 116: unless he has repented before his death. It is reported that when th e life-long opponent of the Prophet and leader of the hypocrites of Medina, Abd Allah ibn Ubayy, was dying he sent his son to the Prophet with the request that the latter give him his shirt, and so that he might be buried in it, and that the Prophet should pray over him after his death. The Prophet took this request as a sign of Ubayy’s repentance, and gave him his shirt and later led the funeral prayers over his body. When Umar ibn al-Khattab vehemently protested against this clemency towards the man whom all the believers had regarded as “ God’s enemy”, the Prophet answered, “God ahs granted me a choice in this matter, and so I shall pray [for him] more than seventy times.” [ Bukhari, Tirmidhi, Nasai, ibn Hanbal, on the authority of Ibn Abbas, Bukhari and Muslim, on the authority of ibn Umar, Muslim, on the authority of Jabir .and in various other Hadith compilations.

Since Ubayy died some time after the Prophet’s return form Tabuk expedition,……..]

9: 128 Indeed, there has come unto you [O mankind] an Apostle form among yourselves: heavily weighs upon him that you might suffer [in the life to come]; full of concern for you, full of compassion and mercy towards the believers. [asad]

9: 128 Now has come unto you a Messenger from among yourselves; it grieves him that you should perish; ardently anxious is he over you: to the Believers is he most kind and merciful. [ali]
