parents of rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam)

Parents of Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)

Q: Is the father and mother of Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) in hell as they were non Muslims and idol worshippers? If not, what this hadith says? I am sure we cannot reject it.

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيْنَ أَبِي قَالَ ‏"‏ أَبُوكَ فِي النَّارِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا قَفَّى قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ أَبِي وَأَبَاكَ فِي النَّارِ ‏"‏ 

‏Grade: Sahih (Al-Albani) صحيح (الألباني) حكم :

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “The Prophet (ﷺ) visited the grave of his mother and wept, causing the people around him to weep. Then he said: ‘I asked my Lord for permission to seek forgiveness for her, but He did not give me permission. Then I asked my Lord for permission to visit her grave and He gave me permission. So visit the graves, for they will remind you of death.’”

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ زَارَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَبْرَ أُمِّهِ فَبَكَى وَأَبْكَى مَنْ حَوْلَهُ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اسْتَأْذَنْتُ رَبِّي فِي أَنْ أَسْتَغْفِرَ لَهَا فَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ لِي وَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ رَبِّي فِي أَنْ أَزُورَ قَبْرَهَا فَأَذِنَ لِي فَزُورُوا الْقُبُورَ فَإِنَّهَا تُذَكِّرُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

The belief of the Ahlus Sunnah regarding the parents of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)

Q: I want to know about the belief of the Ahlus Sunnah regarding the parents of our beloved prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). We know from some narration of Shaheeh Muslim that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) was prohibited to pray for forgiveness for his mother. So, what should be our belief on them?
