I was a companion rider of the Prophet ﷺ on a donkey called 'Ufair. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "O Muʿadh! Do you know what Allah's right on His slaves is, and what the right of His slaves on Him is?" I replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He said, "Allah's right on His slaves is that they should worship Him (Alone) and should not worship any besides Him. And slave's right on Allah is that He should not punish him who worships none besides Him." I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Should I not inform the people of this good news?" He said, "Do not inform them of it, lest they should depend on it (absolutely).  

كُنْتُ رِدْفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَلَى حِمَارٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ عُفَيْرٌ فَقَالَ يَا مُعَاذُ هَلْ تَدْرِي حَقَّ اللَّهِ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ وَمَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللَّهِ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّ حَقَّ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلاَ يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَحَقَّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ لاَ يُعَذِّبَ مَنْ لاَ يُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلاَ أُبَشِّرُ بِهِ النَّاسَ قَالَ لاَ تُبَشِّرْهُمْ فَيَتَّكِلُوا  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Muʿadh! Do you know what Allah's Right upon His slaves is?" I said, "Allah and His Apostle know best." The Prophet ﷺ said, "To worship Him (Allah) Alone and to join none in worship with Him (Allah). Do you know what their right upon Him is?" I replied, "Allah and His Apostle know best." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Not to punish them (if they do so).  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَا مُعَاذُ أَتَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ قَالَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلاَ يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا أَتَدْرِي مَا حَقُّهُمْ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ أَنْ لاَ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ  

I was riding behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on an ass known as 'Ufair. He (Mu'adh) observed: He (the Holy Prophet) said: Mu'adh, do you know what right has Allah over His bondsmen and what right have His bondsmen over Him? Mu'adh added: I replied: Allah and his Messenger know best. Upon this he (the Prophet remarked: The right of Allah over His bondsmen is that they should worship Allah and should not associate anything with Him, and the right of His bondsmen over Allah, Glorious and Sublime, is that He does not punish him who associates not anything with Him. He (Mu'adh) added: I said to the Messenger of Allah: Should I then give the tidings to the people? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Do not tell them this good news, for they would trust in it alone.  

كُنْتُ رِدْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى حِمَارٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ عُفَيْرٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا مُعَاذُ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ وَمَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللَّهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّ حَقَّ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلاَ يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَحَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللَّهِ ﷻ أَنْ لاَ يُعَذِّبَ مَنْ لاَ يُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلاَ أُبَشِّرُ النَّاسَ قَالَ لاَ تُبَشِّرْهُمْ فَيَتَّكِلُوا  

Mu'adh, do you know the right of Allah over His bondsmen? He (Mu'adh) said: Allah and His Apostle know best. He (the Messenger of Allah) said: That Allah alone should be worshipped and nothing should be associated with Him. He (the Holy Prophet) said: What right have they (bondsmen) upon Him in case they do it? He (Mu'adh) said: Allah and His Apostle know best. He (the Holy Prophet) said: That He would not punish them.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا مُعَاذُ أَتَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ قَالَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ أَنْ يُعْبَدَ اللَّهُ وَلاَ يُشْرَكَ بِهِ شَىْءٌ قَالَ أَتَدْرِي مَا حَقُّهُمْ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ أَنْ لاَ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ  

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Do you know what Allah's right upon His slaves is?" I said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "His right upon them is that they worship Him alone and do not associate any partners with Him." He said: "And do you know what their right over Allah is if they do that?" I said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "That He will not punish them."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَتَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّ حَقَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلاَ يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا قَالَ فَتَدْرِي مَا حَقُّهُمْ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ أَنْ لاَ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by me when I was riding a donkey, and said: ‘O Mu’adh, do you know what Allah’s right over His slaves is and what His slaves’ right over Allah is?’ I said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He said: ‘The right of Allah over His slaves is that they should worship Him and not associate anything with Him. And the right of the slaves over Allah, if they do that, is that He should not punish them.’”  

مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا عَلَى حِمَارٍ فَقَالَ يَا مُعَاذُ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ وَمَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللَّهِ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّ حَقَّ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلاَ يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَحَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللَّهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ أَنْ لاَ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ  

[Machine] Narrated from the wonders of the Prophet's speech ﷺ he said, "I used to be behind the Prophet ﷺ on a donkey. He said, 'O Mu'adh!' So I said, 'Labbayk, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'Do you know the right of Allah upon His servants?' I said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'The right of Allah upon His servants is to worship Him alone and not associate anything with Him. Do you know what the right of the servants upon Allah is if they do that?' I said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'The right of the servants upon Allah is that He does not punish them.'

Then he said, 'O Mu'adh, do you know the right of the servants upon Allah if they do that?' I said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.'

I said, "That He forgives them and does not punish them." Ma'mar said in his narration, "I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, should I not give glad tidings to the people?'" He said, "Let them work."  

كُنْتُ رِدْفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ؟ قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا قَالَ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ وَلَا يُعَذِّبَهُمْ قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا أُبَشِّرُ النَّاسَ؟ قَالَ دَعْهُمْ يَعْمَلُوا

He said, "Their right upon Him is that He will admit them into Paradise."  

كُنْتُ رِدْفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَلَى جَمَلٍ أَحْمَرَ فَقَالَ «مُعَاذُ» فَقُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ «تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «فَإِنَّ حَقَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذَا هُمْ فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «حَقُّهُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ»  

[Machine] "I was walking behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he said, 'O Mu'adh, do you know what Allah's right upon His servants is?' I said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'Allah's right upon them is to worship Him alone and not associate anything with Him. Do you know, O Mu'adh, what their right upon Allah is if they do that?' I said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'Their right upon Allah is that He will not punish them.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, should I not give the glad tidings to the people?' He said, 'Leave them to perform their deeds.'"  

كُنْتُ رِدْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرِي يَا مُعَاذُ مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «حَقُّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا تَدْرِي يَا مُعَاذُ مَا حَقُّ النَّاسِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُمْ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا أُبَشِّرُ النَّاسَ؟ قَالَ «دَعْهُمْ يَعْمَلُونَ»  

[Machine] I was riding behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a donkey called 'Ufair. He said to me, "O Mu'adh, do you know what rights Allah has over His servants? That they worship Him alone and associate nothing with Him, and the rights of His servants over Allah is that He does not punish those who do not associate anything with Him." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, should I not give glad tidings to the people?" He said, "Do not give them glad tidings, for they may rely on it."  

كُنْتُ رَدِيفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى حِمَارٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ عُفَيْرٌ فَقَالَ لِي «يَا مُعَاذُ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَحَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَ مَنْ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا أُبَشِّرُ النَّاسَ؟ فَقَالَ «لَا تُبَشِّرْهُمْ فَيَتَّكِلُوا»  

[Machine] I was sitting beside the Prophet ﷺ when he said to me, "O Mu'adh, do you know what rights Allah has over His servants?" I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "Their right upon Him is that they worship Him alone and do not associate anything with Him." Then he asked, "Do you know what rights they have upon Him if they fulfill that?" I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "Their right upon Him is that He will not punish them."  

كُنْتُ رَدِيفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي «يَا مُعَاذُ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «حَقُّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّهُمْ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «حَقُّهُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُمْ»  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by me when I was riding a donkey, and said: ‘O Mu’adh, do you know what Allah’s right over His slaves is and what His slaves’ right over Allah is?’ I said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He said: ‘The right of Allah over His slaves is that they should worship Him and not associate anything with Him. And the right of the slaves over Allah, if they do that, is that He should not punish them.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4296)  

مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا عَلَى حِمَارٍ فَقَالَ «يَا مُعَاذُ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ وَمَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَحَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُمْ»  

[Machine] "I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, 'O Muadh, do you know what is the right of Allah upon His slaves?' I said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.'

I said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'That He will not punish them.'"  

كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يَا مُعَاذُ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «فَإِنَّ حَقَّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُمْ»

[Machine] I was riding behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a donkey, and he said to me, "O Mu'adh ibn Jabal, what is the right of Allah upon His servants?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا مُعَاذُ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعَبِيدِ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «أَنْ تَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُمْ»  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was riding on a camel with a saddle on it. He said: "O Mu'adh!" I said: "Here I am, at your service and at your pleasure." He said: "Do you know what Allah's right upon His servants is?" I said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "Allah's right upon them is that they should worship Him and not associate anything with Him." Then he said: "Do you know what the right of the servants upon Allah is, if they do that?" I said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "Their right upon Him, if they do that, is that He should forgive them and admit them to Paradise."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ قَدْ شَدَّ عَلَيْهِ بَرْدَعَةً فَقَالَ «يَا مُعَاذُ» قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ فَقَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «فَإِنَّ حَقَّ اللهِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «حَقُّهُمْ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ وَيُدْخِلَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ»  

While I was riding behind the Prophet ﷺ and between me and him and between me and him there was only the back of the saddle, he said, "0 Muʿadh!" I replied, "Labbaik, 0 Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and Saʿdaik!" he said, "Do you know what is Allah's right upon his slave?" I said, "Allah and His Apostle know best" He said "Allah's right upon his slaves is that they should worship Him alone and not worship anything else besides Him." Then he proceeded for a while and then said, "O Muʿadh bin Jabal!" I replied, "Labbaik, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ:, Saʿdaik!' He said, "Do you know what is the right of the slaves upon Allah if they do that?" I replied, "Allah and His Apostle know best." He said, "The right of the slaves upon Allah is that He will not punish them (if they do that). (Using translation from Bukhārī 5967)   

كُنْتُ رَدِيفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَمَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ إِلَّا آخِرَةُ الرَّحْلِ فَقَالَ «يَا مُعَاذُ» فَقُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ قَالَ «أَتَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا مُعَاذُ بْنَ جَبَلٍ» قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ قَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «حَقَّهُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُمْ»  

"عَنْ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ رَدِيفَ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا مُعَاذُ! لا تَسْأَلْنِى إِذَا خَلَوْتَ مَعِى؟ قُلْتُ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُه أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: يَا مُعَاذُ! هَلْ تَدْرِى مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟ قُلْتُ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُه أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا، قَالَ: فَهَلْ تدرى مَا حَقُّ العِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟ قُلْتُ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: يُدْخِلُهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ".
