Sunan an-Nasai 4837 (Book 45, Hadith 132) #19370
The Responsibility of Sins

SUMMARY: No one is responsible for the sins of another.

It was narrated from Al-Ash'ath bin sulaim, from his father that a man from among Banu Tha'labah bin Yarbu' said: "I came to the Prophet when he was speaking, and a man said: 'O Messenger of Allah, these are Banu Tha'labah bin Yarbu' who killed so and so'. The Messenger of Allah said: 'No,' meaning no soul is affected by the sin of another".
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنِ الأَشْعَثِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنْ بَنِي ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ يَرْبُوعٍ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ وَهُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَؤُلاَءِ بَنُو ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ يَرْبُوعٍ الَّذِينَ أَصَابُوا فُلاَنًا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لاَ - يَعْنِي - لاَ تَجْنِي نَفْسٌ عَلَى نَفْسٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the idea that no one is responsible for the sins of another. It was narrated by Al-Ash'ath bin Sulaim, from his father, that a man from among Banu Tha'labah bin Yarbu' said he came to the Prophet when he was speaking and a man said that these were Banu Tha'labah bin Yarbu', who killed so and so. The Prophet responded with "No," meaning no soul is affected by the sin of another. This hadith teaches us an important lesson about responsibility and accountability; we are only accountable for our own actions and not those of others. We should not be judged or punished for something someone else has done wrong, as it is unfair to do so. We must take responsibility for our own actions and strive to do good in order to receive rewards in this life and hereafter.
