In the noble verse: ((She has what she has earned, and she is responsible for what she has acquired)), this is not evidence of abrogation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the verse:
Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ
[Al-Baqarah 2:286]
, meaning, if we apply our intellect to His saying:
Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. "Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people." لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ
[Al-Baqarah 2:286]
; is not the evidence for abrogation here that accountability is for what a person acquires?

The Shaykh : No; because acquisition is also acquisition of the heart. Acquisition is of two types: acquisition of the heart and acquisition through the performance of actions.

The questioner : The hadith comes to specify, and it specifies.

Eid Abbasi : The most important thing, my brother, is acquisition.

The questioner : Meaning, the hadith comes to specify, meaning acquisition. That is, acquisition of the heart is not subject to accountability, and the acquisition that leads to speech and action is what one is held accountable for.

The Shaykh : Look, no, there is a nuance here. When the Messenger (peace be upon him) says:
Allah has accepted my invocation to forgive إن الله تجاوز لي عن أمَّتي
Sahih al-Bukhari 2528
, what is the meaning of this statement?

The questioner : This is, in principle, subject to accountability.

The Shaykh : That is it, so this was lifted, and this is the abrogation.
...

Another questioner : That they remained... from the worry.

The Shaykh : The evidence for this is abundant.
