[Machine] While I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , we went to Tabuk, and my camel stumbled one night. We stumbled with him, then he prayed Fajr, and we prayed with him. Then he set out and we set out with him, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ continued until the companions and camels scattered. The camels were feeding themselves and behind him was a Najrani cloak. I caught sight of a ring on the Prophet's camel while he was asleep, and I thought that it would fall off him. As I was thinking like that, my camel neighed, causing the Prophet's camel to startle. The Prophet ﷺ woke up, looked around and saw me, so he said: "O Muadh." I said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Come closer." So I drew nearer. He repeated that three times, so I kept drawing nearer until the two riding mounts were almost touching. Then Muadh said: "I have a word in my heart that has taken hold of me and made me anxious, I have not asked you about it, and I have not heard anyone else ask you about it." He said: "Ask me, O Muadh." He said: "Tell me, O Messenger of Allah, concerning an action which will admit me to Paradise." He said: "You have asked about a great matter, yet it is easy for him whom Allah Almighty makes it easy for: Worship Allah, associating nothing with Him, establish the prayer, give the Zakah, and do good to your parents."
