ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ مِنْ لُزُومِ الْعِبَادَةِ فِي السِّرِّ وَالْعَلَانِيَةِ رَجَاءَ النَّجَاةِ فِي الْعُقْبَى بِهَا
[Machine] "I was riding behind the Prophet ﷺ, with nothing between me and him except the back of the saddle. He said, 'O Mu'adh,' and I replied, 'Here I am, O Messenger of Allah, at your service.' He then rode for a while and said, 'O Mu'adh,' to which I replied, 'Here I am, O Messenger of Allah, at your service.' He asked, 'Do you know what right Allah has over His servants?' I replied, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'The right of Allah over His servants is that they worship Him alone and do not associate anyone or anything with Him.' He then rode for a while and said, 'Do you know what right the servants have over Allah if they do that?' I replied, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'The right of the servants over Allah if they do that is that He will not punish them.'"
كُنْتُ رَدِيفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ إِلَّا مُؤْخِرَةُ الرَّحْلِ فقَالَ «يَا مُعَاذُ» قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ سَارَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا مُعَاذُ» قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ قَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟ » قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا» قَالَ ثُمَّ سَارَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللَّهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ»؟ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «فَإِنَّ حَقَّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللَّهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُمْ»
