And never (O Muhammad) pray for one of them who dieth, nor stand by his
grave. Lo! they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger, and they died while
they were evildoers.

Commentary
It is commanded that you
should keep only necessary friendly intercourse with the mischievous, wicked
and hypocrites, so that they may know clearly that, according to the
community’s view, their behavior is extremely objectionable, and they should
correct their acts by feeling their errors. If someone of them dies, then O
Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam)! You should
never cause to say funereal prayer for him and nor should you stand by his
grave, because doing so, some inclination towards them becomes manifest.
The Muslims, as a community,
should practice some unkindness with them. Therefore their religious leader
should not cause to say funeral prayer for any such person, about whom he knows
that he did not care for the Law conformable to Shara’. His
relatives can bury him after causing to say his funeral prayer at their own.
Main reason of it is that those
people used to deny Allah Almighty and His Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa
AaliHii Wasallam) openly and fearlessly, and in the condition of
disobedience, they died. They could not repent. The community should have no
connection with such people.
It has passed earlier that
Abdullah bin Obayy had died before revelation of this verse
and the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) caused
to say his funeral prayer; keeping common human sympathy in view, as well as
bestowed His (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) shirt
also for his shroud, and at the time of his burial, prayed for him too.
But when this verse was
revealed then neither He (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam)
participated in the funeral ceremony of any hypocrite and nor in his shrouding.
The names of the hypocrites were told by the Messenger (SallAllaahu
alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) to Huzayfah (May Allah be
pleased with him). So Umar (May Allah be pleased with him)
used to observe participation of Huzayfah (May Allah be
pleased with him) in the funeral ceremony of any person that if he {Huzayfah (May
Allah be pleased with him)} is present there then He {Umar (May
Allah be pleased with him)} used to participate, otherwise no.
Nowadays this matter has become
complicated that how the vagabonds and immoral people should be straightened.
For this purpose, making laws and ordinary instructions for being careful from
such people is useless. Its treatment is that; which can be understood from
this verse. That is to say; public which abide by the law, should break off all
social connections from them, so that being helpless through boycott, they may
be compelled to correct themselves or be ruined by fighting. There is no other
treatment more useful than shutting out social and commercial intercourse.
Nowadays, friendly intercourse is kept up equally with the vicious people, so
their strength has been increasing.
