أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ فِي حَدِيثِهِ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ أَشْعَثَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي يَرْبُوعٍ قَالَ أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُکَلِّمُ النَّاسَ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ نَاسٌ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَؤُلَائِ بَنُو فُلَانٍ الَّذِينَ قَتَلُوا فُلَانًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَجْنِي نَفْسٌ عَلَی أُخْرَی
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4853
It was narrated from Ash’ath, from his father, that a man from among Banu Tha’labah bin Yarbu’ said: “We came to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم when he was speaking to the people, and some people stood up and said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, these are Banu Tha’labah who killed so and so.’ The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘No soul is affected by the sin of another.” (Sahih)
