﴿And do not disgrace me﴾ meaning: do not humiliate me by his death regarding what necessitates his entrance into the Fire, nor by anything other than that. ﴿On the Day they are resurrected﴾ meaning: these deniers of resurrection. It is as if this supplication was made in their presence while denying them in the worship of idols. The apparent reason for specifying the supplication for his father is that his mother had believed, as has been reported from... "It has been confirmed that he will say on the Day of Resurrection: O Lord! Indeed, You promised me that You would not disgrace me. What disgrace is more disgraceful than that of my distant father? Then Allah will change the appearance of his father into that of a dog and then throw him into the Fire, as narrated by al-Bukhari in various places from Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him. And that Allah, exalted is He, will say to him: Indeed, I have forbidden Paradise for the disbelievers, even if it were a disbelieving nation, he would have asked for it."
