At-Tawbah 114

وَمَا كَانَ اسْتِغْفَارُ اِبْرٰه۪يمَ لِاَب۪يهِ اِلَّا عَنْ مَوْعِدَةٍ وَعَدَهَٓا اِيَّاهُۚ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُٓ اَنَّهُ عَدُوٌّ لِلّٰهِ تَبَرَّاَ مِنْهُۜ اِنَّ اِبْرٰه۪يمَ لَاَوَّاهٌ حَل۪يمٌ ۝١١٤

114Abraham's asking forgiveness for his father was only because of a promise he had made to him earlier. But when it became quite clear to him that his father was an enemy of Allah, he distanced himself from him. Abraham was truly most sensitive of soul and tender-hearted.
