At-Taubah · Ayah 114 · Juz 11 · Page 205

وَمَا كَانَ ٱسۡتِغۡفَارُ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ إِلَّا عَن مَّوۡعِدَةٖ وَعَدَهَآ إِيَّاهُ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُۥٓ أَنَّهُۥ عَدُوّٞ لِّلَّهِ تَبَرَّأَ مِنۡهُۚ إِنَّ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ لَأَوَّٰهٌ حَلِيمٞ ١١٤

Wa mā kānastighfāru ibrāhīma liʾabīhi illā ʿam mawʿidatiw waʿadahā iyyāhu falammā tabayyana lahū annahū ʿaduwwul lillāhi tabarraʾa minh, inna ibrāhīma laʾawwāhun ḥalīm.

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 him [i.e., Abraham] that he [i.e., the father] was an enemy to Allāh, he disassociated himself from him. Indeed was Abraham compassionate and patient.
