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.

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?
