9:114
وَمَا
كَانَ
ٱسْتِغْفَارُ
إِبْرَٰهِيمَ
لِأَبِيهِ
إِلَّا
عَن
مَّوْعِدَةٍۢ
وَعَدَهَآ
إِيَّاهُ
فَلَمَّا
تَبَيَّنَ
لَهُۥٓ
أَنَّهُۥ
عَدُوٌّۭ
لِّلَّهِ
تَبَرَّأَ
مِنْهُ ۚ
إِنَّ
إِبْرَٰهِيمَ
لَأَوَّٰهٌ
حَلِيمٌۭ

Abraham asked forgiveness for his father because he had made a promise to him, but once he realized that his father was an enemy of God, he washed his hands of him. Abraham was tender-hearted and forbearing.
