سورة التوبة، الآية ١١٤Surah At-Tawbah, ayah 114 (9:114)
وَمَا كَانَ ٱسۡتِغۡفَارُ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ إِلَّا عَن مَّوۡعِدَةٍ وَعَدَهَآ إِيَّاهُ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُۥٓ أَنَّهُۥ عَدُوٌّ لِّلَّهِ تَبَرَّأَ مِنۡهُ إِنَّ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ لَأَوَّٰهٌ حَلِيمٌ ١١٤
The meaning in English
And Ibrâhîm’s (Abraham) invoking (of Allâh) for his father’s forgiveness was only because of a promise he [Ibrâhîm (Abraham)] had made to him (his father). But when it became clear to him [Ibrâhîm (Abraham)] that he (his father) is an enemy of Allâh, he dissociated himself from him. Verily Ibrâhîm (Abraham) was Awwah (one who invokes Allâh with humility, glorifies Him and remembers Him much) and was forbearing. (Tafsir Al-Qurtubî).

التفسير الميسر
وما كان استغفار إبراهيم عليه السلام لأبيه المشرك، إلا عن موعدة وعدها إياه، وهي قوله: {سَأَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكَ رَبِّي إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِي حَفِيًّا (19:47)}. فلما تبيَّن لإبراهيم أن أباه عدو لله ولم ينفع فيه الوعظ والتذكير، وأنه سيموت كافرًا، تركه وترك الاستغفار له، وتبرأ منه. إن إبراهيم عليه السلام عظيم التضرع لله، كثير الصفح عما يصدر مِن قومه من الزلات
