4495. It was narrated that Abū Rimthah said: "I went to the Prophet ﷺ with my father, then the Prophet ﷺ said to my father: "Is this your son?" He said: "Yes, by the Lord of the Ka'bah." He said: "Is it true?" He said: "I bear witness to it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled at my resemblance to my father and my father's oath concerning me, then he said: "You are not accountable for his wrongdoing, and he is not accountable for yours." And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the Verse: "No bearer of burdens shall bear the burden of another"[1]

4495 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِيَادٌ، عَنْ أَبِي رِمْثَةَ، قَالَ: انْطَلَقْتُ مَعَ أَبِي نَحْوَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ لِأَبِي: «ابْنُكَ هَذَا؟» قَالَ: إِي وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ، قَالَ: «حَقًّا؟» قَالَ: أَشْهَدُ بِهِ، قَالَ: فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَاحِكًا مِنْ ثَبْتِ شَبَهِي فِي أَبِي، وَمِنْ حَلِفِ أَبِي عَلَيَّ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَا يَجْنِي عَلَيْكَ، وَلَا تَجْنِي عَلَيْهِ»، وَقَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: {وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى} [الأنعام: 164]
