سورة العنكبوت

Ali ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him): وَ لْنَحْمِلْ خَطایاکُمْ [And we will bear your wrongs]; the disbelievers used to say to the believers: "Be with us; what causes you fear has no importance. If it is true, we will take your sins upon ourselves." Allah punishes them twice — once on account of their own sins, and once on account of the sins of others.

Imam Baqir (peace be upon him): Ishaq al-Laythi said: I said to Imam Baqir (peace be upon him): "O son of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family)! Inform me about the believer ..." He said: "When these deeds (the evil deeds of the believer and the good deeds of the Nasibi) are presented to the Truth, Blessed and Exalted, He says: 'I am just, I do not act unjustly; I am equitable, I do not oppress; I am the Ruler who does not deviate in His judgement, does not incline from what is right to error, and does not depart from the truth and the reality. Attach the ugly deeds that the believer has committed to the origin of the Nasibi and his clay, and attach the good and pleasing deeds that the Nasibi has earned to the origin of the believer and his clay. Return all of these deeds to their origin ...'" I said: "O son of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family)! How astonishing and amazing this is!! Are the good deeds and righteous acts of the enemies taken and given to your Shia, and in return the ugly deeds of your friends taken and passed on to those who hate you?" The Imam said: "Yes! By Allah, other than whom there is no god, the Splitter of the seed, the Creator of man, and the Originator of the earth and the sky; I have not informed you except with truth, and I have not spoken to you except with sincerity and truthfulness. Allah does not wrong His servants, and He is not oppressive toward them; He is not ظلّام (unjust) toward the servants, and what I have informed you of is all in the Qur'an." I said: "Are these reports found exactly in the Qur'an?" He said: "Yes! It is found in more than thirty places in the Qur'an. Would you like me to recite the verses to you?" I said: "Yes, O son of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family)!" The Imam said: "Allah the Exalted says: وَ قالَ الَّذِینَ کَفَرُوا لِلَّذِینَ آمَنُوا اتَّبِعُوا سَبِیلَنا وَ لْنَحْمِلْ خَطایاکُمْ وَ ما هُمْ بِحامِلِینَ مِنْ خَطایاهُمْ مِنْ شَیْءٍ إِنَّهُمْ لَکاذِبُونَ* وَ لَیَحْمِلُنَّ أَثْقالَهُمْ وَ أَثْقالًا مَعَ أَثْقالِهِمْ [And the disbelievers said to the believers: 'Follow our path, (and if there is any sin,) we will bear your sins.' They will never bear anything of their sins; indeed they are liars. And they shall carry their heavy burdens (of sins), and (also) other heavy burdens in addition to their own heavy burdens]."
