Question:
Another means of transmission states that Allah the Exalted said in His wise Book:[Al-An'am 6:164] It is also reported that a hadith was narrated, the text of which is, or that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Is the reconciliation between the two that the one who leads to sin does not take on the sin of the one who commits it after him, but rather takes on the same amount, or is it otherwise?
Answer:
The verse is decisive (muhkam). Allah (Exalted and Majestic) says:[Fatir 35:18] Every person bears the weight of their own sin; they do not bear the sin of another. However, whoever directs people to sins and assists them in committing them becomes like the one who committed them. We ask Allah for safety from this. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Mishkat al-Masabih 158Sahīh (Zubair `Aliza'i) He bears the sin of it and the sin of whoever commits it after him. So, the one who directs people to good has a reward like that of the one whom Allah guided through him, and the one who calls to misguidance bears the same sins as those who followed him. We ask Allah for safety from this. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 1893a We ask Allah for safety from this. This contains a warning against a person calling to evil and bearing the same sins as them, because he misled them. This falls under the verse, because directing people to evil is part of his action, may Allah protect us from it.
And from this is the hadith of the one who was asked about the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying that the servant is punished for what was wailed over him, which indicates a warning against wailing. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) warned against wailing over the dead and that the dead person is punished for what was wailed over him. This is derived from the verse, and "nor does a bearer of sin bear the burden of another" is another warning against this abhorrent matter, which is wailing. Yes.
Another means of transmission states that Allah the Exalted said in His wise Book:
and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another
وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰWhoever leads to a sin has its sin and the sin of whoever commits it.
من دل على معصيه فله اثمها واثم من عمل بهاAnswer:
The verse is decisive (muhkam). Allah (Exalted and Majestic) says:
And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another.
وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰIf anyone summons others to follow right guidance, his reward will be equivalent to those of the people who follow him without their rewards being diminished in any respect on that account; and if anyone summons others to follow error the
من دعا إلى هدى كان له مثل أجور من تبعه لا ينقص من أجورهم شيئا، ومن دعا إلى ضلالة كان عليهOne who guides to something good has a reward similar to that of its doer.
من دل على خير فله مثل أجر فاعله،And from this is the hadith of the one who was asked about the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying that the servant is punished for what was wailed over him, which indicates a warning against wailing. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) warned against wailing over the dead and that the dead person is punished for what was wailed over him. This is derived from the verse, and "nor does a bearer of sin bear the burden of another" is another warning against this abhorrent matter, which is wailing. Yes.
