Q 35:18

وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ ۚ وَإِن تَدْعُ مُثْقَلَةٌ إِلَىٰ حِمْلِهَا لَا يُحْمَلْ مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبَىٰٓ ۗ إِنَّمَا تُنذِرُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلْغَيْبِ وَأَقَامُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ ۚ وَمَن تَزَكَّىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَتَزَكَّىٰ لِنَفْسِهِۦ ۚ وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمَصِيرُ

Traductions

Or, personne ne portera le fardeau d'autrui. Et si une âme surchargée [de péchés] appelle à l'aide, rien de sa charge ne sera supporté par une autre même si c'est un proche parent. Tu n'avertis en fait, que ceux qui craignent leur Seigneur malgré qu'ils ne Le voient pas, et qui accomplissent la Salât. Et quiconque se purifie ne se purifie que pour lui-même, et vers Allah est la destination.

Muhammad Hamidullah · FR

And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. And if a heavily laden soul calls [another] to [carry some of] its load, nothing of it will be carried, even if he should be a close relative. You can only warn those who fear their Lord unseen and have established prayer. And whoever purifies himself only purifies himself for [the benefit of] his soul. And to Allah is the [final] destination.

Tafsir

Une âme pécheresse ne porte pas le péché d’une autre âme pécheresse: toute âme porte plutôt la charge des péchés qu’elle a elle-même commis. Si une âme surchargé de péchés demandait à ce qu’on les porte à sa place, personne ne les porterait, pas même quelqu’un de proche. Ô Messager, tu ne menaces du châtiment d’Allah que ceux qui craignent leur Seigneur, bien qu’ils ne Le voient pas, et accomplissent la prière de la manière la plus complète. Ce sont eux qui tirent avantage de ta menace et quiconque se purifie des péchés, dont le plus grave est le polythéisme, se purifie pour lui-même car Allah se passe de son obéissance, et c’est vers Allah que l’on retournera le Jour de la Resurrection afin de rendre des comptes et d’être rétribués.

Lire Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abrégé, en anglais))

O mankind! it is you who stand in need of Allah. But Allah is the Rich, Worthy of all praise (15)If He willed, He could destroy you and bring about a new creation (16)And that is not hard for Allah (17)And no bearer of burdens shall bear another's burden; and if one heavily laden calls another to (bear) his load, nothing of it will be lifted even though he be near of kin. You can warn only those who fear their Lord unseen and perform the Salah. And he who purifies himself (from all kinds of sins), then he purifies only for the benefit of himself. And to Allah is the Return (of all)(18) Mankind is in need of Allah, and each Person will carry His own Burdens on the Day of Resurrection Allah tells us that He has no need of anyone or anything else, but all of creation is in need of Him and is in a position of humility before Him. He says: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَنْتُمُ الْفُقَرَاءُ إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ (O mankind! it is you who stand in need of Allah.) meaning, they need Him in all that they do, but He has no need of them at all. Allah says: وَاللَّهُ هُوَ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَمِيدُ (But Allah is the Rich, Worthy of all praise.) meaning, He is unique in His being Free of all needs, and has no partner or associate, and He is Worthy of all praise in all that He does, says, decrees and legislates. إِنْ يَشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُمْ وَيَأْتِ بِخَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ (If He willed, He could destroy you and bring about a new creation.) means, if He wanted to, He could destroy you and bring forth another people, and this is not difficult or impossible for Him. He says: وَمَا ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ بِعَزِيزٍ (And that is not hard for Allah.) Allah's saying: وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ ۚ (And no bearer of burdens shall bear another's burden;) means, on the Day of Resurrection. وَإِنْ تَدْعُ مُثْقَلَةٌ إِلَىٰ حِمْلِهَا (and if one heavily laden calls another to (bear) his load,) means, if the person who is carrying a heavy burden calls someone else to help him carry his load, all or part of it, لَا يُحْمَلْ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبَىٰ ۗ (nothing of it will be lifted even though he be near of kin.) means, even if he is closely-related to him, even if he is his father or son, for each person will be preoccupied with his own self and his own situation. Then Allah says: إِنَّمَا تُنْذِرُ الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَيْبِ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ ۚ (You can warn only those who fear their Lord unseen and perform the Salah.) means, 'the only ones who will draw a lesson from what you have brought are those who are possessed of insight and wisdom, who fear their Lord and who do as He commands.' وَمَنْ تَزَكَّىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَتَزَكَّىٰ لِنَفْسِهِ ۚ (And he who purifies himself, then he purifies only for the benefit of himself.) means, who does righteous deeds, the benefit of that will come back to him, وَإِلَى اللَّهِ الْمَصِيرُ (And to Allah is the Return.) means, to Him everything will ultimately return, and He is swift in bringing to account. He will reward or punish everyone according to his deeds: if they are good, then the end will be good, and if they are bad, then the end will be bad.
