Jews And Christians Bearing Burden Of Sins Of Muslims. Please Give Explanation!
This is about the Christians and Jews in the time of the prophet. The prophet had completed the proof of truth of the divine message on them (Itmam e Hujjat). After they they were ordained to be punished by the Muslims in the world by subjugating them and in the hereafter they were sent to the hell. This hadith tells that if the companions had not embraced Islam and not fulfilled the jobs as were demanded from them they would have gone to hell. But now the people of book only would go t hell in their stead. This is not about their going to hell for the sins of the Muslims.
