I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying during the Farewell pilgrimage: “No criminal commits a crime but he brings. (the punishment for that) upon himself. No father can bring punishment upon his son by his crime, and no son can bring punishment upon his father.”
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي حِجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ أَلاَ لاَ يَجْنِي جَانٍ إِلاَّ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ لاَ يَجْنِي وَالِدٌ عَلَى وَلَدِهِ وَلاَ مَوْلُودٌ عَلَى وَالِدِهِ
“I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raising his hands until I saw the whiteness of his armpits, saying: 'No child should be punished because of his mother's crime, no child should be punished because of his mother's crime.”
رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ يَقُولُ أَلاَ لاَ تَجْنِي أُمٌّ عَلَى وَلَدٍ أَلاَ لاَ تَجْنِي أُمٌّ عَلَى وَلَدٍ
“I came to the Prophet ﷺ and my son was with me. He said: 'You will not be punished because of his crime and he will not be punished because of yours.'”
أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَمَعِي ابْنِي فَقَالَ لاَ تَجْنِي عَلَيْهِ وَلاَ يَجْنِي عَلَيْكَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تَجْنِي نَفْسٌ عَلَى أُخْرَى
