Sunan an-Nasai 4839 (Book 45, Hadith 134) #19372
Sins of the Parent Should Not Affect the Child

SUMMARY: No matter what sins a parent has committed, it should not affect their child.

It was narrated from Tariq and Muharibi that a manh said: "O Messenger of Allah, these are Banu Tha'labah who killed so and so during the Jahiliyyah: avenger us! He raised his arms until the whiteness of his armpits could be seen and said: "No mother's sin can affect her child," twice. (Shaih)
أَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ عِيسَى، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا يَزِيدُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ - عَنْ جَامِعِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ، عَنْ طَارِقٍ الْمُحَارِبِيِّ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَؤُلاَءِ بَنُو ثَعْلَبَةَ الَّذِينَ قَتَلُوا فُلاَنًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ‏.‏ فَخُذْ لَنَا بِثَأْرِنَا ‏.‏ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَجْنِي أُمٌّ عَلَى وَلَدٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ مَرَّتَيْنِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how a person's sins should not be passed down to their children. It was narrated from Tariq and Muharibi that a man said to the Prophet Muhammad, "O Messenger of Allah, these are Banu Tha'labah who killed so and so during the Jahiliyyah [pre-Islamic period]: avenger us!" The Prophet raised his arms until the whiteness of his armpits could be seen and said "No mother's sin can affect her child," twice. This hadith teaches us that no matter what wrongdoings or sins our parents have committed, we should not be punished for them. We are responsible for our own actions and must take responsibility for them instead of blaming our parents or ancestors. It also teaches us that justice is important; even if someone has done something wrong in the past, they cannot be punished for it now because it would not be fair or just.
