عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو النَّضْرِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَ قَدِيمًا مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ قَالَ كَانَ فِي عَهْدِ عُثْمَانَ رَجُلٌ يُخْبِرُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ لَقِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اكْتُبْ لِي كِتَابًا أَنْ لَا أُوَاخَذَ بِجَرِيرَةِ غَيْرِي فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَكَ وَلِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ
During the caliphate of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), a man narrated from his father that he met the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Write a document for me stating that I will not be held accountable for someone else's crime. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is your right, and it is also the right of every Muslim (that no one will be held accountable for another's crime).
