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).

[Machine] I used to ride behind the Prophet ﷺ on a red camel, and he said, "O Mu'adh!" I 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 it three times, and I said it three times. Then he said, "Their right upon Him is that they worship Him alone and do not associate anything with Him. Do you know the right of the servants upon Allah if they do that?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said it three times, and I said it three times. Then he said, "Their right upon Him is that He forgives them and admits them to Paradise."

[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.'"

Paradise is Granted Only to Those Who Fulfill the Described Branches of Faith and Accompany Them with Other Acts of Worship That Are Physical Actions, and Not to Those Who Only Profess Faith Without Action in Every Situation

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)
