Riyad as-Salihin, 432

Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will deliver to every Muslim, a Jew or a Christian and say: 'This is your ransom from Hell-fire."' Another narration is: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "There would come people amongst the Muslims on the Day of Resurrection with sins as heavy as a mountain, and Allah would forgive them". [Muslim].

وعن أبي موسى الأشعري، رضي الله عنه، قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏ إذا كان يوم القيامة دفع الله إلى كل مسلم يهودياً أونصرانياً فيقول‏:‏ هذا فكاكك من النار‏"‏‏.‏ وفي رواية عنه عن النبي، صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ ‏"‏يجئ يوم القيامة ناس من المسلمين بذنوب أمثال الجبال يغفرها الله لهم ‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Guidance from the Hadith: 1) Allah Almighty honors this (Muslim) nation due to their belief in Him and their role as a witness over other nations. 2) The low status of the Jews and Christians, for they distorted the speech of Allah and killed His messengers, and so they will be like offerings whereby Muslims will be ransomed.
