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 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.'  

حَدِّثْنَا مِنْ غَرَائِبِ حَدِيثِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَقَالَ كُنْتُ رِدْفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَلَى حِمَارٍ فَقَالَ يَا مُعَاذُ فَقُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ أَتَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّ حَقَّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا فَهَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّ حَقَّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُمْ

He then said, "Do you know what rights the servants have upon Allah if they do that?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "He will not punish them."

[Machine] Narrated a strange hadith from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he said, "Yes, I used to place my foot on a donkey's rib. Mu'adh bin Jabal said, 'Here I am at your service, 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 that they worship Him and do not associate anything with Him.' 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.' He said, 'Their right upon Allah is that He does not punish them.'"

[Machine] I was sitting next to the Prophet ﷺ, and he said, "Do you know the rights that Allah has upon His servants?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "That they worship Him alone and associate nothing with Him." He then asked, "Do you know the rights of the servants upon Allah if they fulfill that?" 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

كُنْتُ رَدِيفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَتَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟ قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا قَالَ وَهَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّهُمْ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُمْ

He said, "The right of the servants over Allah is that He will not punish them."

"عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ رِدْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى حِمَارٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ: عُفَيْرٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا مُعَاذُ: هَلْ تَدْرِى مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلا يُشْرِكُوا بِه شَيْئًا وَحَقُّهُمْ عَلَى اللهِ: أَلَّا يُعَذِّبَ مَنْ لا يُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَفَلَا أُبَشِّرُ النَّاسَ؟ قَالَ: لَا تُبَشِّرْهُمْ فَيَتَّكِلُوا".
