Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you, how do we reconcile the hadithSunan Abi Dawud 3383Da'if (Al-Albani) one of them is the partner of the other, with the saying of Allah the Exalted [Al-An'am 6:164]
Answer:
There is no contradiction between them, because one does not bear the crime of another. This hadith does not state that one bears the crime of another, so there is no contradiction. It states that Allah’s assistance and guidance are with the truthfulness of the two partners between themselves. If they do not tell the truth, Allah abandons them, or if one of them does not tell the truth, Allah abandons them, because the partnership is not established on truthfulness.
