Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Do you know who the bankrupt is?” They said: “The bankrupt among us is one who has no dirham or goods.” He said: “The bankrupt of my nation is the one who comes on the Day of Resurrection with prayer, fasting, and zakat, but comes having insulted this one, slandered that one, consumed the wealth of this one, shed the blood of that one, and struck this one. So, this one is given from his good deeds, and that one from his good deeds. If his good deeds are exhausted before his debts are settled, their sins are taken and cast upon him, then he is thrown 1 into the Fire.”

Note 1
(1) His statement: “Then he is thrown into the Fire”: This implies that there is no forgiveness or intercession for the rights of people unless Allah wills to satisfy the claimant as He pleases. Al-Mazari said: Some innovators claimed this Hadith contradicts Allah’s statement: “No bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another” (Al-An’am: 164). This is baseless and clear ignorance, for he is punished for his own actions, and his burdens are due to the rights owed to his creditors. These are paid from his good deeds, and when his good deeds are exhausted, the sins of his creditors are placed upon him. The essence of the punishment is caused by his oppression, and he is not punished for anything other than his own offense. (As stated in Al-Mirqat)

(۱) قوله: ثم طرح في النار وفيه إشعار بأنه لا عفو ولا شفاعة في حقوق العباد، إلا إن شاء الله يرضي خصمه بما أراد. قال المازري: زعم بعض المبتدعة أن هذا الحديث معارض بقوله تعالى: ﴿وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى (الأنعام: ١٦٤) وهو باطل، وجهالة بينة؛ لأنه إنما عوقب بفعله، ووزروه فتوجهت عليه حقوق لغرمائه، فدفعت إليهم من حسناته، فلما فرغت حسناته أخذ من سيئات خصومه فوضعت عليه، فحقيقة العقوبة مسببة عن ظلمه، ولم يعاقب بغير جناية منه التقطته من «المرقاة».
