Can someone more knowledgeable than me please clarify the station of the parents of the messenger (SalAllahu alaihi wa sallam)? i.e. were they Muslims? are they going to be saved or in the hell fire forever?

Jazakum Allaahu khairun wa baarakAllaahu fikum
Subhanak Allaahuma wa bihamdika ash-hadu anlaa illaaha illa anta astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk

I asked my Lord to permit me to visit my mother's grave, and He permitted me, and I asked His permission to seek forgiveness for her, but He did not permit me.
