bayhaqi:17700Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ > Abū al-ʿAbbās Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb > al-Rabīʿ b. Sulaymān > al-Shāfiʿī > Sufyān > ʿAmr b. Dīnār > ʿAmr b. Aws

[Machine] The man used to be held accountable for the sins of others until Ibrahim ﷺ came and Allah said, "And [mention] Ibrahim, who fulfilled [his obligations] - that no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another" [Surah An-Najm, 53:38]. Ash-Shafi'i said, "By Allah, I have heard and Allah knows best in His saying, 'that no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another' [Surah An-Najm, 53:38], that no one will be held accountable for the sins of others. Allah rewards His servants based on their own actions, and similarly, their wealth. No one benefits at the expense of another's wealth, except as specified by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding the penalty for a mistake committed by a free, sane adult human."  

البيهقي:١٧٧٠٠أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ أنبأ سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَوْسٍ قَالَ

كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يُؤْخَذُ بِذَنْبِ غَيْرِهِ حَتَّى جَاءَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ الَّذِي وَفَّى أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى} [النجم 38] قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَالَّذِي سَمِعْتُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ فِي قَوْلِ اللهِ ﷻ {أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى} [النجم 38] أَنْ لَا يُؤْخَذَ أَحَدٌ بِذَنْبِ غَيْرِهِ؛ لِأَنَّ اللهَ ﷻ جَزَى الْعِبَادَ عَلَى أَعْمَالِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَكَذَلِكَ أَمْوَالُهُمْ لَا يَجْنِي أَحَدٌ عَلَى أَحَدٍ فِي مَالٍ إِلَّا حَيْثُ خَصَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِأَنَّ جِنَايَةَ الْخَطَأِ مِنَ الْحُرِّ مِنَ الْآدَمِيِّينَ عَلَى عَاقِلَتِهِ
