Surah At-Tawbah
وَمَا كَانَ ٱسْتِغْفَارُ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ إِلَّا عَن مَّوْعِدَةٍ وَعَدَهَآ إِيَّاهُ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُۥٓ أَنَّهُۥ عَدُوٌّ لِّلَّهِ تَبَرَّأَ مِنْهُ ۚ إِنَّ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ لَأَوَّٰهٌ حَلِيمٌ
Wa mā kānastigfāru ibrāhīma li'abīhi illā ‘am mau‘idatiw wa‘adahā iyyāh(u), falammā tabayyana lahū annahū ‘aduwwul lillāhi tabarra'a minh(u), inna ibrāhīma la'awwāhun ḥalīm(un).
And the request of forgiveness of Abraham for his father was only because of a promise he had made to him. But when it became apparent to Abraham that his father was an enemy to Allah, he disassociated himself from him. Indeed was Abraham compassionate and patient.
