یہ کافر لوگ ایمان لانے والوں سے کہتے ہیں کہ تم ہمارے طریقے کی پیروی کرو اور تمہاری خطاؤں کو ہم اپنے اُوپر لے لیں گے حالانکہ اُن کی خطاؤں میں سے کچھ بھی وہ اپنے اوپر لینے والے نہیں ہیں، وہ قطعاً جھوٹ کہتے ہیں

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(29:12) The unbelievers say to the believers: 'Follow our way and we will carry the burden of your sins.' *17 (They say so even though) they are not going to carry any part of their sins. *18 Surely they are lying.

And those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Follow our way, meaning

*17) What they meant to say was: "In the first place, the talk about life hereafter and Resurrection and accountability is all meaningless. But supposing there is another life in which the people will be called to account for their deeds, we take the responsibility that we shall take the punishment, etc. on our own selves. You should, therefore,- listen to us and give up this new Faith and return to your ancestral religion." According to the traditions several chiefs of the Quraish used to counsel thus the people who embraced Islam in the beginning. So, when Hadrat `Umar accepted Islam, Abu Sufyan and Harab bin Umayyah bin Khalaf met him and said these very things."
*18) That is, "It is not at all possible that a person should take the responsibility for another before Allah, and thus enable the actual sinner to escape the punishment of his sin, for every person will be responsible for his own deeds there. "No bearer of a burden shall bear the burden of another." (An-Najm: 38) But if at all it be so, none will have the nerve, in face of the blazing Hell got ready to punish the disbelievers, to say to Allah, only for the sake of honouring his pledge in the world, "Lord, forgive this person and send him to Paradise: he had turned apostate on my counselling: I offer myself to suffer the punishment for my own disbelief as well as for his in Hell."
