(Quran 35:18) “And no bearer of burdens shall bear another’s burden”.
Abu Mūsa al-Ash‘ari (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will deliver to every Muslim a Jew or a Christian and say: 'This is your ransom from Hellfire.'"
Sahih/Authentic. - [Muslim]
Explanation
The meaning of this Hadīth is explained in the report of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) which reads: "Each
person has an abode in Paradise and an abode in Hell. If the believer
enters Paradise, the disbeliever in Hell will take his place in it,
because he deserves that due to his disbelief."
"This is your ransom from the Hellfire" means
that you were exposed to the risk of entering Hell, but this is your
ransom. This is because Allah, the Almighty, decreed a number of inmates
to enter Hell and fill it. When the disbelievers enter it because of
their disbelief and sins, they will become like ransom for the Muslims.
