There is a verse in Quran: > مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَن يَسْتَغْفِرُ‌وا > لِلْمُشْرِ‌كِينَ وَلَوْ كَانُوا أُولِي قُرْ‌بَى مِن بَعْدِ مَا > تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْجَحِيمِ > > It is not for the Prophet and those who have believed to ask > forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were relatives, after it > has become clear to them that they are companions of Hellfire. > > http://tanzil.net/#9:113 But there is a hadith in Bihar al-Anwar from the Prophet (SAWW) asking forgiveness for Meccan pagans when bothered him with throwing stone to him at first times he invited them to religion: > اللَّهُمَ‏ اهْدِ قَوْمِي‏ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ > > O Allah! forgive my people, they do not know. Bihar al-Anwar, vol.20 p.21 How this verse and this hadith are compatible?
