Sunan an-Nasai 4836 (Book 45, Hadith 131) #19369
Responsibility for Sins

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

It was narrated from Al-Aswad bin Hilal - who met the Prophet - from a man from Banu Tha'labah bin Yarbu, that: some people from Banu Tha'labah killed a man from among the companions of the Messenger of Allah. A man from among the companions of the Messenger of the Allah said: "O Messenger of Allah, these are Banu Tha'labah who killed so and so". The Messenger said: "No soul is affected by the sin of another". Shu'bah (one of the narrators) said: "That means: No soul is responsible for the sin of another, and Allah knows best".
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَتَّابٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الأَشْعَثِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ، - وَكَانَ قَدْ أَدْرَكَ النَّبِيَّ - عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ يَرْبُوعٍ أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ بَنِي ثَعْلَبَةَ أَصَابُوا رَجُلاً مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَؤُلاَءِ بَنُو ثَعْلَبَةَ قَتَلَتْ فُلاَنًا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَجْنِي نَفْسٌ عَلَى أُخْرَى ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ أَىْ لاَ يُؤْخَذُ أَحَدٌ بِأَحَدٍ وَاللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ

Take ownership over your actions, Be accountable for your deeds

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the idea that no one is responsible for the sins of another. It was narrated by Al-Aswad bin Hilal, who met with the Prophet Muhammad, from a man from Banu Tha'labah bin Yarbu. The story goes that some people from Banu Tha'labah killed a man from among the companions of the Messenger of Allah and when this was reported to him, he said "No soul is affected by the sin of another". This means that no one should be held accountable or punished for someone else's wrongdoings. Everyone has their own individual responsibility and accountability before Allah and will be judged accordingly on their own merits.

This hadith teaches us an important lesson about personal responsibility and accountability in our actions. We must take ownership over our own actions and not blame others or make excuses when we do something wrong. We must also remember that we are not responsible for other people's mistakes; everyone will be judged according to their own deeds on Judgment Day.
