Tafsir
(Whosoever goeth right) whosoever believes, (it is only for (the good of) his own soul that he goeth right) the reward for his belief will go to himself, (and whosoever erreth) and whoever disbelieves, (erreth only to its hurt) the punishment for his disbelief will be against his soul. (No laden soul can bear another's load) no soul laden with sin shall bear another person's sins with a good disposition of the soul, but rather she will bear them through retaliation; it is also said that this means: no soul will be punished for the sins committed by another soul; and it is also said that this means: no soul shall be chastised for the sins of another. (We never punish) a folk by causing their destruction (until We have sent) to them (a messenger) in order to establish a proof against them.

Al-Jalalayn Commentary
Whoever is guided is guided only to the good of his own soul because the reward of his guidance will be for him; and whoever goes astray goes astray only to its his soul’s detriment because the sin thereof will be held against it. No burdened no sinful soul shall bear the burden of another soul. And We never chastise anyone until We have sent a messenger to make clear to him that which is his obligation.
