English translation

4840. It was narrated from Al-Aswad bin Hilâl - who met the Prophet ﷺ - from a man from Banu Tha'labah bin Yarbû', that some people from Banu Tha'labah killed a man from among the Companions of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. A man from among the Companions of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "O Messenger of Allâh, these are Banu Tha'labah who killed so and so." The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "No soul is affected by the sin of another." Shu'bah (one of the narrators) said: "That means: No soul is responsible for the sin of another. And Allâh knows best." (Sahîh)

4836 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَتَّابٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ الْأَشْعَثِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، وَكَانَ قَدْ أَدْرَكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ يَرْبُوعٍ أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ بَنِي ثَعْلَبَةَ أَصَابُوا رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو ثَعْلَبَةَ قَتَلَتْ فُلَانًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَجْنِي نَفْسٌ عَلَى أُخْرَى» قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: «أَيْ لَا يُؤْخَذُ أَحَدٌ بِأَحَدٍ وَاللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ»
