[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ rode on a donkey called Ya'foor, and its reins were made of leather. He said, "Get on, O Mu'adh." I said quietly, "Should I ride behind you, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Get on." So, he made me sit behind him, and the donkey stumbled. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed and then rode for the second time, saying, "Get on." So, I rode and the donkey went on as Allah willed. Then, he raised his hand and struck my back with a whip or a stick that he had with him and said, "O Mu'adh ibn Jabal, do you know what right Allah has over His slaves?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "The right of Allah over His slaves is that they worship Him alone and do not associate anything with Him." Then, he continued riding as Allah willed. Then, he raised his hand and struck my back again and said, "O Mu'adh ibn Jabal, do you know what right the slaves have over Allah if they do that?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "The right of the slaves over Allah is that He admits them to Jannah (Paradise) if they do that."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَكِبَ عَلَى حِمَارٍ لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ يَعْفُورٌ وَرَسَنُهُ مِنْ لِيفٍ فَقَالَ «ارْكَبْ يَا مُعَاذُ» قُلْتُ سِرْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «ارْكَبْ» فَأَرْدَفَنِي خَلْفَهُ فَصُرِعَ بِنَا الْحِمَارُ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَضْحَكُ ثُمَّ رَكِبَ الثَّانِيَةَ فَقَالَ «ارْكَبْ» فَرَكِبْتُ فَسَارَ بِنَا الْحِمَارُ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ قَالَ وَأَخْلَفَ بِيَدِهِ فَضَرَبَ بِهَا ظَهْرِي بِسَوْطٍ كَانَ مَعَهُ أَوْ عَصًا فَقَالَ «يَا مُعَاذَ بْنَ أُمِّ مُعَاذٍ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «فَإِنَّ حَقَّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا» ثُمَّ سَارَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ثُمَّ أَخْلَفَ بِيَدِهِ فَضَرَبَ ظَهْرِي فَقَالَ «يَا مُعَاذَ بْنَ أُمِّ مُعَاذٍ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «فَإِنَّ حَقَّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ أنْ يُدْخِلَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ»
