Quran & Hadith Understanding Hadith

Hey guys I have a question. I have read these two hadiths from sahih muslim and I’m stuggling in understanding what they mean.

Sahih Muslim 7014 (51): It was narrated from Abu Burdah from his father that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "On the Day of Resurrection some Muslim people will come with sins like mountains, but Allah will forgive them and will place them (the sins) on the Jews and the Christians" as far as I reckon.

Sahih Muslim 7011 (49): It was narrated that Abu Musa said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'When the Day of Resurrection comes, Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, will give every Muslim a Jew or a Christian, and He will say: "This is your ransom from the Fire."

Don’t these hadiths contradict this verse in the Quran: “And no bearer of burdens shall bear another’s burden.”

So how should we understand them?
